1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
3 After the doings of the land of
Egypt, wherein 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 do my judgments, and keep
mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
5 Ye 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 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 fathers
wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy fathers nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the
daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be
born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not
uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy sons
daughter, or of thy daughters daughter, even their nakedness
thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy fathers
wifes daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou
shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy fathers sister: she is thy fathers near
kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy mothers sister: for she is thy mothers near
kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy fathers brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife:
she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy sons wife; thou
shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy brothers wife: it is thy brothers nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her sons
daughter, or her daughters 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, beside the other
in her life time.
19 Also thou shalt not
approach unto 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 neighbours 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 the iniquity thereof 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, which were before you, and the land is
defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out
also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were
before you.
29 For whosoever 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 mine
ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable
customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not
yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
