Cursed be he that lieth with any manner beast, and all the people shall
say Amen. Cursed be he that lieth with his sister whether she be the
daughter of his father or of his mother, and all the people shall say
Amen. Cursed be he that lieth with his mother-in-law, and all the
people shall say Amen. Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour
secretly, and all the people shall say Amen. Cursed be he that taketh a
reward to slay innocent blood, and all the people shall say Amen.
Cursed be he that maintaineth not all the words of this law to do them,
and all the people shall say Amen.
Chapter .xxviij.
If thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to
observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
The LORD will set thee on high {an hye} above all nations of the earth.
And all these blessings shall come on thee and over take thee, if thou
shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Blessed shalt thou be
in the town and blessed in the fields, blessed shall be the fruit of
thy body, the fruit of thy ground and the fruit of thy cattle, the
