Leviticus 18
1 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.'
