No man shall take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's covering.

The privities of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover, for they are thy father's privities.

"'Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife, because he hath opened his father's covering.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

If a man lie with his father's wife and uncover his father's privities, they shall both die for it, their blood be upon their heads.

There goeth a common saying that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not once named among the gentiles: that one should have his father's wife.

Then he said, "What art thou?" And she answered, "I am Ruth, thine handmaid. Spread thy mantle over thine handmaid, for thou art the next of the kin."

Now when I went by thee, and looked upon thee: behold, thy time was come; yea, even the time to vow thee. Then spread I my clothes over thee, to cover thy dishonesty: Yea, I made an oath unto thee, and married myself with thee, sayeth the LORD God; and so thou becamest mine own.

Them that are without, God shall judge. Put away from among you that evil person.
