And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah your God;
3
according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.
4
`My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them;
I [am] Jehovah your God;
5
and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them;
I [am] Jehovah.
6
`None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness;
I [am] Jehovah.
7
`The nakedness of thy father and the nakedness of thy mother thou dost not uncover, she [is] thy mother;
thou dost not uncover her nakedness.
8
`The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover;
it [is] the nakedness of thy father.
9
`The nakedness of thy sister, daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home or born without;
thou dost not uncover their nakedness.
10
`The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter: thou dost not uncover their nakedness;
for theirs [is] thy nakedness.
11
`The nakedness of a daughter of thy father's wife, begotten of thy father, she [is] thy sister;
thou dost not uncover her nakedness.
12
`The nakedness of a sister of thy father thou dost not uncover;
she [is] a relation of thy father.
13
`The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou dost not uncover;
for she [is] thy mother's relation.
14
`The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover;
unto his wife thou dost not draw near;
she [is] thine aunt.
15
`The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not uncover;
she [is] thy son's wife;
thou dost not uncover her nakedness.
16
`The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou dost not uncover;
it [is] thy brother's nakedness.
17
`The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover;
her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take to uncover her nakedness;
they [are] her relations;
it [is] wickedness.
18
`And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.
19
`And unto a woman in the separation of her uncleanness thou dost not draw near to uncover her nakedness.
20
`And unto the wife of thy fellow thou dost not give thy seed of copulation, for uncleanness with her.
21
`And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the Molech;
nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God;
I [am] Jehovah.
22
`And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman;
abomination it [is].
23
`And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for uncleanness with it;
and a woman doth not stand before a beast to lie down with it;
confusion it [is].
24
`Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;
25
and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:
26
and ye — ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,
27
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done who [are] before you, and the land is defiled),
28
and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which [is] before you;
29
for any one who doth [any] of all these abominations — even the persons who are doing [so], have been cut off from the midst of their people;
30
and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them;
I [am] Jehovah your God.'
