Sleeps

If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.

And anyone who sleeps in the house or eats in it must wash his clothes.

If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her,

‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his father’s wife, for he has violated his father’s marriage bed.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his mother-in-law.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

He who gathers in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.

None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap is broken.

Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.
