| 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. |
