Given by: the angel of the presence to Moses on Sinai, retelling Abraham's impassioned plea to his children. Given to: Abraham's descendants, warned that impurity would make their name a curse and their life 'a hissing.'

In an honour-based culture, a family's name was its most precious inheritance; Abraham warns that impurity would turn that name into a curse and a 'hissing' — an object of scorn — before all peoples.

'And guard yourselves from all fornication and uncleanness, And from all pollution of sin, Lest ye make our name a curse, And your whole life a hissing, And all your sons to be destroyed by the sword, And ye become accursed like Sodom, And all your remnant as the sons of Gomorrah.

Abraham pleads with his children to guard themselves from all impurity and pollution of sin, warning that a corrupt life turns a blessed name into a curse.
