1: And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2: Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I [am] the LORD your God. 3: After the doings of the land of Egypt in which ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. 4: Ye shall perform my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk in them; I [am] the LORD your God. 5: Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments: which if a man doeth, he shall live in them: I [am] the LORD. 6: None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am the LORD. 7: The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she [is] thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8: The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy father's nakedness. 9: The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, [whether] born at home, or born abroad, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 10: The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs [is] thy own nakedness. 11: The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten by thy father, (she [is] thy sister) thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 12: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she [is] thy father's near kinswoman. 13: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she [is] thy mother's near kinswoman. 14: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she [is] thy aunt. 15: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she [is] thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 16: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it [is] thy brother's nakedness. 17: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness. 18: Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex [her], to uncover her nakedness besides the other in her life-[time]. 19: Also thou shalt not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20: Moreover, thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her. 21: And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD. 22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination. 23: Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion. 24: Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26: Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you. 27: (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, who [were] before you, and the land is defiled;) 28: That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nations that [were] before you. 29: For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit [them] shall be cut off from among their people. 30: Therefore shall ye keep my ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves in them; I [am] the LORD your God.
