b Incwadi ethi Palestine in the Time of Christ ithi: “Kwiimeko ezithile, umfazi wayejongwa njengokumgangatho wekhoboka. Ngokomzekelo, wayengenako ukunikela ubungqina kwinkundla yomthetho, ngaphandle kokuba unikela ubungqina ngokufa kwendoda yakhe.” Ithetha ngeLevitikus 5:1, iThe Mishnah iyacacisa: “[Umthetho] ‘ongelizwi lesifungo’ usebenza emadodeni kungekhona ebafazini.”—Shebuoth 4:I.
