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
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 she be born at
home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son's
daughter, or thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not
uncover: for theirs is thine own
nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy
father's wife's daughter, begotten of 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 nearest kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover
the nakedness of thy father's 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 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 unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as he 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 life
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 spew not
you out also, when ye defile it, as it spewed 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.
