| 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. |
