For that would have been wicked, a sin to be judged.

For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;

For lust is a shameful sin, a crime that should be punished.

“‘ Suppose a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife. Then the man and the woman must be put to death.

Suppose a man is seen sleeping with another man’s wife. Then the man and the woman must both die. Get rid of those evil people.Suppose a man happens to see a virgin in a town. And she has promised to marry another man. But the man who happens to see her sleeps with her.Then you must take both of them to the gate of that town. You must put them to death by throwing stones at them. You must kill the young woman because she was in a town and didn’t scream for help. And you must kill the man because he slept with another man’s wife. Get rid of those evil people.

Then these things would have been sins that should be judged. And I wouldn’t have been faithful to God in heaven.

About three months later people brought word to Judah. They said,“ Your daughter- in- law Tamar is guilty of being a prostitute. Now she’s pregnant.” Judah said,“ Bring her out! Have her burned to death!”

Then Abimelek said,“ What have you done to us? What if one of the men slept with your wife? Then you would have made us guilty.”

I will hand down my sentence against you. You will be punished like women who commit adultery and sacrifice their children to other gods. I am so angry with you. So I will sentence you to death for everything you have done.

Then Abimelek called Abraham in. Abimelek said,“ What have you done to us? Have I done something wrong to you? Why have you brought so much guilt on me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done.”

“ Do not commit adultery.

It’s the same for anyone who has sex with another man’s wife. Anyone who touches her will be punished.People don’t hate a thief who steals to fill his empty stomach.But when he is caught, he must pay seven times as much as he stole. It may even cost him everything he has.A man who commits adultery has no sense. Anyone who does it destroys himself.He will be beaten up and dishonored. His shame will never be wiped away.

No one in this house is in a higher position than I am. My master hasn’t held anything back from me, except you. You are his wife. So how could I do an evil thing like that? How could I sin against God?”
