Given by: the angel of the presence to Moses on Sinai, immediately after recounting Reuben's sin with Bilhah — a law the book says is written and ordained on the heavenly tablets. Given to: Israel through Moses, for every generation.

In the ancient world a father's wife or concubine belonged to the innermost circle of the household's honour; to violate her was to 'uncover the father's skirt' — an assault on the father himself. Jubilees, written for Jews under Hellenistic pressure, presents such purity as engraved in heaven from the beginning.

For this reason it is written and ordained on the heavenly tablets that a man should not lie with his father's wife, and should not uncover his father's skirt, for this is unclean: they shall surely die together, the man who lies with his father's wife and the woman also, for they have wrought uncleanness on the earth.

Written on the heavenly tablets: a father's wife is for ever off-limits, for to cross that line is to work uncleanness on the earth.
