2 “What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying:
‘The ^afathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge’?

4 “Behold, all souls are ^aMine;
The soul of the father
As well as the soul of the son is Mine;
^bThe soul who sins shall die.

5 But if a man is just

Nor ^bdefiled his neighbor’s wife,
Nor approached ^ca woman during her impurity;
