[ 35:21] And it came to pass when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him. [ 35:22] Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

You were insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for you went up to the bed of your father; then you defiled the couch, whereupon you went up.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, for she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness.

And if anyone should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.

Cursed is he that lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt: and all the people shall say, So be it.

Cursed is he that lies with his daughter-in-law. And all the people shall say, So be it. Cursed is he that lies with his wife's sister. And all the people shall say, So be it.

And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's concubines, whom he left to keep his house; and all Israel shall hear that you have dishonored your father; and the hands of all that are with you shall be strengthened.

And they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

And the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he [was] the firstborn; but because of his going up to his father's couch, [his father] gave his blessing to his son Joseph, [even] the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as firstborn;

in which to tread on the dust of the earth, and they have smitten upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the lowly; and a son and his father have gone into the same maid, that they might profane the name of their God.

It is actually heard that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even named among the Gentiles--that a man has his father's wife!

who shall not eat upon the mountains, and shall not at all lift up his eyes to the devices of the house of Israel, and shall not defile his neighbor's wife, and shall not draw near to her that is removed,

And you shall not go in to a woman under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness.

And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for her impurity], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from among their generation.
