EJ&T Ezekiel: Don't come near a menstruous woman

In the Every Jot and Tittle project, I am listing all of the Bible's commandments from Genesis to Revelation, in accordance with Jesus's words in Matthew 5:18-19. I have no idea how many commandments I'll find, but Jewish tradition claims there are 613. See here for a list of those that I've found so far.

  1. Repent.
  2. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. Ezekiel 14:6

    Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions ... Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit. Ezekiel 14:30

    Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning ... Rend your heart, and not your garments. Joel 2:12-13
