Holy Scripture

Leviticus 18:5

A church father on this verse
“"The man who carries out the law will find life through it." Scripture did not say he will find life through it, in the sense that through the law he will live in heaven, but he will find life through it to the extent that what he merits, he reaps in the present world.”
Jerome, 5th c. — HOMILY 76

3Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Canaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.

4Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I am the Lord your God.

— Leviticus 18:5 —

6No man shall draw nigh to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I am the Lord.

7Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, for she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
