And the Lord sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf – the one Aaron made.

It was square – they made the breastpiece doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide when doubled.

for the people who were in the land before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become unclean.

If a man has sexual intercourse with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have committed perversion; their blood guilt is on themselves.

The Israelites did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses – that is what they did.

Your fathers did the same thing when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

I, the Lord, affirm that I know how arrogant they are. But their pride is ill-founded. Their boastings will prove to be false.

They have treated father and mother with contempt within you; they have oppressed the foreigner among you; they have wronged the orphan and the widow within you.

They engaged in prostitution in Egypt; in their youth they engaged in prostitution. Their breasts were squeezed there; lovers fondled their virgin nipples there.

Moreover, they have done this to me: In the very same day they desecrated my sanctuary and profaned my Sabbaths.
