וְלֹא־תָבִ֤יא תֽוֹעֵבָה֙ אֶל־בֵּיתֶ֔ךָ וְהָיִ֥יתָ חֵ֖רֶם כָּמֹ֑הוּ שַׁקֵּ֧ץ ׀ תְּשַׁקְּצֶ֛נּוּ וְתַעֵ֥ב ׀ תְּֽתַעֲבֶ֖נּוּ כִּי־חֵ֥רֶם הֽוּא׃ (פ)
Jangan membawa sesuatu yang keji ke dalam rumahmu, sehingga engkau pun menjadi barang yang dikhususkan untuk ditumpas seperti benda itu. Engkau harus sungguh-sungguh menganggapnya menjijikkan dan sungguh-sungguh memandangnya keji, sebab benda itu adalah barang yang dikhususkan untuk ditumpas.

All who increase their meticulous observance shall have the days and years of their life increased too.
