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.
