Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 22-24a Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey:
    • B 24b I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
      • C 25a Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean:
        • D 25b and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground,
      • C' 25c which I have separated from you as unclean.
    • B' 26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
  • A' 27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
