Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

20.20 Qui coierit, etc. Intendit legislator continentiam suadere, ne more pecorum cum mulieribus continue misceamur, sed velut coacti, ad usum continendi paulatim veniamus. Mirum autem quod nunc tales de populo suo disperdi præcipit, cum superius eisdem legem purgationis indixerit. Contemplemur ergo menstruatam gentilium sapientiam a Deo remotam, de volatu avium, et cursu siderum, et mensuris cœli disputantem. Cum hac dormire, id est delectari, vel revelare et palam turpitudinem ejus proferre, fontemque totius erroris exponentem audire, impium est. Ideo talis interficietur de medio populi sui, ne nommetur homo qui imaginem Dei et seipsum ignorando Creatorem a se alienavit. Ipsa quoque interficietur, ne sapientia nominetur, quia sapientia hujus mundi stultitia est apud Deum I Cor. 3.. Turpitudinem, etc. Sororibus parentum filios misceri prohibet, ut generationes non confundantur, et parentibus reverentia exhibeatur. Secundum spiritum vero et parentum peccata debemus velare, et eorum qui eis sociati sunt, quasi fratres et sorores, quibus nudatis parentes latere non possunt. Unde addit: Ignominiam carnis suæ nudabit. LXX: Sine filiis morietur, id est, sine virtutibus, quæ est pessima sterilitas. Qui coierit, etc. ISICH. Ostendit quia causa filiorum, etc., usque ad superioribus similis est. AUG., quæst. 76. in Lev. Qui coierit cum uxore patris, etc. Quicunque dormierit cum cognata sua, etc., usque ad id est nullo jure succedant parentibus.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חֶטְאָ֥ם יִשָּׂ֖אוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,man which/who lies_with DOM aunt,his nakedness uncle's,his uncovered sin,their bear childless die )

Similar to the expression “to bear one’s iniquity,” this expression uses the idiom of carrying one’s sin as if it were a burden to carry. This means being held responsible for one’s wrongdoing. If this would not be clear in your language, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “They shall be held responsible for their sin” or “They shall bear the guilt of their sin”
