1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 S peak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, I AM your God.

3 Y ou shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, in which ye dwelt; nor shall you do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I bring you; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.

4 Y e shall comply with my rights and keep my statutes, walking in them. I AM your God.

5 T herefore you shall keep my rights and my statutes, of which the man doing them, shall live in them. I am the LORD.

6 ¶ No man shall approach any woman that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the LORD.

7 T he nakedness of thy father or the nakedness of thy mother, thou shalt not uncover; she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

8 T he nakedness of thy father’s wife thou shalt not uncover; it is thy father’s nakedness.

9 T he nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father or daughter of thy mother, whether she is born at home or born abroad, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

10 T he nakedness of thy son’s daughter or of thy daughter’s daughter, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; for theirs is thine own nakedness.

11 T he nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

12 T hou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister; she is thy father’s near kinswoman.

13 T hou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister; for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.

14 T hou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife; she is thine aunt.

15 T hou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law; she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

16 T hou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife; it is thy brother’s nakedness.

17 T hou 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 N either shalt thou take a woman together with her sister, to make her a rival, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her lifetime.

19 ¶ Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is separated for her uncleanness.

20 M oreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, contaminating thyself with her.

21 A nd thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech; neither shalt thou contaminate the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

22 T hou shalt not lie with males as with women; it is abomination.

23 N either shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to join herself with it; it is mixture.

24 D o not defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these things the Gentiles which I cast out before you have defiled themselves;

25 a nd the land became defiled; therefore, I visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited out her inhabitants.

26 Y e shall, therefore, keep my statutes and my rights and shall not commit any of these abominations, neither the natural of your own nor any stranger that sojourns among you.

27 ( For all these abominations were done by the men of the land who were before you, and the land was contaminated.)

28 A nd will the land not vomit you out also for having contaminated it, as it vomited out the Gentiles that were before you?

29 F or whoever shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that commit them shall be cut off from among his people.

30 K eep, therefore, my ordinance that ye commit not any one of these abominable laws which were committed before you, and do not defile yourselves in them; I am the LORD your God.
