- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Qui supra uxorem filiam, duxerit matrem ejus, scelus operatus est : vivus ardebit cum eis, nec permanebit tantum nefas in medio vestri.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ὃς ἐὰν λάβῃ γυναῖκα καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτῆς, ἀνόμημά ἐστιν· ἐν πυρὶ κατακαύσουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ αὐτὰς, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ἀνομία ἐν ὑμῖν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקַּ֧ח אֶת אִשָּׁ֛ה וְאֶת אִמָּ֖הּ זִמָּ֣ה הִ֑וא בָּאֵ֞שׁ יִשְׂרְפ֤וּ אֹתוֹ֙ וְאֶתְהֶ֔ן וְלֹא תִהְיֶ֥ה זִמָּ֖ה בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
Alive, is not in the original; but must be understood. The Rabbins say melted lead was to be poured down the throats of the guilty. The words of Moses seem rather to refer to external fire. (Calmet)
With them, if they both gave their consent to the crime. (Menochius)
