Jacob
Be ready to marry a virgin and,
Be ready to learn from her;
Like two-tenths of an ephah given out in the ninth month.
One man from a tribe is to help you,
One woman from each home is to save you,
And one man for each land is to see you through;
But you shall not cut your bodies for the death.
Each man knows the affliction of his heart,
And each woman knows the affliction of her heart;
So Jacob, you shall not put tattoo marks upon yourself;
And be ready to marry a virgin of your heart.
