The man who stole and sold a live ox was to restore five fold. The man and the woman who married in defiance, of siime of the prohibitions were tobe put to death, in an other case tnev were to be burnt with nre. We are under no obligation to inflict these punishments but we substitute for them those provided Jjy the law of the land. Among ceremonies that have passed away are those re quiring the observance of the feasts of the new moon, and of abstaining from certain foods and drinks. But the moral laws "thou shalt not kill," "thou shalt not steal" and all others never lose their binding force. It is sometimes difficult to discern the moral laws from the others but there are three principal tests. K disobedience to the law is anywhere in the Old Testa ment denounced as wickedness or as an abomination, then it is a moral law. If the same disobedience is de nounced in the New Testamenthen it was moral law. If the heathen people are denounced for not observing it then it is a moral law, and such a moral law as .might have been known by the light of nature A man may not marry his . 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Grandmother Grandfather's wife Wife's grandmother Father's sister Mother's sister Father's brother's wife Mother's brother's wife Wife's father's sister Wife's mother's sister how m Prophet Amos the fourth transgression (the middle one of seven) seems to be the crowning one which pulls down the thunderbolts of heaven.

But for the 24 Wife'sdaughter'sdaugh- 23 Husband's son's son last which is the same degree, of kinship of the prohibi ted marriage of a woman to two brothers successively, it is alleged that verse 18 of this - same chapter allows it when it says "Thou shalt not take a wife to her sister to be a rival to her besides the other in her life time." Now if a "wife to her sister" means "one blood sister to another blood sister," then such a marriage is prohib ited in the life time of the first that was taken to wife. It is remarkable that the phrases which would be literally rendered "a woman to her sister," and stand all three of these tests. In this part of that book each chapter begins with the words "And Jehovah spake unto Moses saying." The chapter is devoted to a single subject and the whole of it either is or is not moral law This 18th chapter sets out by saying: "After the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt ye shall do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you, ye shall not do." After all the specific prohibitions, it adds, "Defile not yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are de filed which I cast out from before you," and "For who soever shall do any of these -abominations even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people" and that it is for doing these things thai the "land vomiteh out her inhabitants." Here the prohibitions of this chapter stand two of thetests. Thejare called abominations and one of such marriages is also called "wickedness or enormity; and the heathen are blamed for them. In the New Testament one ot the things prp hibited in this chapter is charged to Herod by John the Baptist and for continuing to charge it he lost his life. "It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife." And another thing was prohibited, a man's marrying his step-mother is denounced by St. Paul as "fornication and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles." This whole Chapter then is moral law. and of eternal ob- liration. First then ndtme thinar prohibited in it is U w more.lawful by God's law than another. They allstand . or f all tberether. If it is now unlawful for a man to marry his own mother it is equallyunlawful for him to marrv his aunt "or iiis deceased brother's wife. All r 1 three are expressly prohibited in this chapter. The peculiar torm 01 words in which the various conjunctions of a man and a woman is here prohibited, is used to show that such conjunctions are abominable, are incest, whether thev are made under the torm 01 mar- .'..-'., xi-vr ,11 ordered that if a man marry and die and leave no son Vrirct thpro is the oreneral law?
