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 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 of 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 near 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,
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 neighbour'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 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.
