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, wherein you dwelled, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
4 You shall do my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5 You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, 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 your father, or the nakedness of your mother, shall you not uncover: she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of your father' wife shall you not uncover: it is your father' nakedness.
9 The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10 The nakedness of your son' daughter, or of your daughter' daughter, even their nakedness you shall not uncover: for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of your father' wife' daughter, begotten of your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father' sister: she is your father' near kinswoman.
13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother' sister: for she is your mother' near kinswoman.
14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father' brother, you shall not approach to his wife: she is your aunt.
15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law: she is your son' wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother' wife: it is your brother' nakedness.
17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shall you take her son' daughter, or her daughter' daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Neither shall you take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Also you shall not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor' wife, to defile yourself with her.
21 And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
22 You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not you 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 the iniquity thereof on it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants.
26 You 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 sojournes among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spew not you out also, when you defile it, as it spewed 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 you keep my ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: I am Jehovah your God.
3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you have dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
4 You shall do My judgments and keep My ordinances, to walk in them: I am Jehovah your God.
5 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am Jehovah.
6 None of you shall approach the flesh of anyone who is kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah.
7 The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of your fathers wife you shall not uncover; it is your fathers nakedness.
9 The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10 The nakedness of your sons daughter or your daughters daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of your fathers wifes daughter, begotten by your father; she is your sister; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your fathers sister; she is near of kin to your father.
13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mothers sister, for she is near of kin to your mother.
14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your fathers brother: You shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt.
15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your sons wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brothers wife; it is your brothers nakedness.
17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her sons daughter or her daughters daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness.
18 Nor shall you take a woman and her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, while the other is alive.
19 Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness during her menstrual uncleanness.
20 Moreover you shall not give seed to your neighbors wife through intercourse, to defile yourself with her.
21 And you shall not give any of your seed to pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am Jehovah.
22 You shall not lie with a male as with a female. It is an abomination.
23 Nor shall you mate with any beast, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before a beast to mate with it. It is perversion.
24 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have been defiled;
25 for the land is defiled. Therefore I am visiting its depravity upon it, and the land is vomiting out its inhabitants.
26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native nor any stranger who sojourns among you
27 (for all these abominations the men who were in the land before you have done, and the land is defiled),
28 that the land not also vomit you out when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
29 For whoever does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore you shall keep My charge, so that you do not do any of these abominable customs which were done before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am Jehovah your God.
