1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, I am the Lord your God.
3You⌃ shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which you⌃ lived: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, you⌃ shall not do; and you⌃ shall not walk in their ordinances.
4You⌃ shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I am the Lord your God.
5So you⌃ shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord your God.
6No man shall draw near to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I am the Lord.
7You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, for she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness.
9The nakedness of your sister by your father or by your mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10The nakedness of your son's daughter, or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; because it is your nakedness.
11You shall not uncover the nakedness of the daughter of your father's wife; she is your sister by the same father: you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, for she is near akin to your father.
13You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is near akin to your mother.
14You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, and you shall not go in to his wife; for she is your relation.
15You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife: it is your brother's nakedness.
17The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shall you not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shall you not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are your kinswomen: it is impiety.
18You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, as a rival, to uncover her nakedness in opposition to her, while she is yet living.
19And you shall not go in to a woman under separation for her uncleanness, to uncover her nakedness.
20And you shall not lie with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her.
21And you shall not give of your seed to serve a ruler; and you shall not profane my holy name; I am the Lord.
22And you shall not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
23Neither shall you lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
24Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
25and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
26And you⌃ shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you⌃ shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
27(for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,)
28and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
29For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.
30And you⌃ shall keep my ordinances, that you⌃ may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and you⌃ shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.
