| 18:1 |
And the LORD said to Moses,
|
| 18:2 |
'Say to the people of Israel, I am the LORD your God.
|
| 18:3 |
You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes.
|
| 18:4 |
You shall do my ordinances and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.
|
| 18:5 |
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, by doing which a man shall live: I am the LORD.
|
| 18:6 |
'None of you shall approach any one near of kin to him to uncover nakedness. I am the LORD.
|
| 18:7 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother;she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
|
| 18:8 |

|
| 18:9 |

|
| 18:10 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, for their nakedness is your own nakedness.
|
| 18:11 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten by your father, since she is your sister.
|
| 18:12 |

|
| 18:13 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near kinswoman.
|
| 18:14 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, that is, you shall not approach his wife;she is your aunt.
|
| 18:15 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law;she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
|
| 18:16 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife;she is your brother's nakedness.
|
| 18:17 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, and you shall not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover her nakedness;they are your near kinswomen;it is wickedness.
|
| 18:18 |
And you shall not take a woman as a rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is yet alive.
|
| 18:19 |
'You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.
|
| 18:20 |
And you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.
|
| 18:21 |
You shall not give any of your children to devote them by fire to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
|
| 18:22 |
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman;it is an abomination.
|
| 18:23 |
And you shall not lie with any beast and defile yourself with it, neither shall any woman give herself to a beast to lie with it: it is perversion.
|
| 18:24 |
'Do not defile yourselves by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am casting out before you defiled themselves;
|
| 18:25 |
and the land became defiled, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
|
| 18:26 |
But you shall keep my statutes and my ordinances and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you
|
| 18:27 |
(for all of these abominations the men of the land did, who were before you, so that the land became defiled);
|
| 18:28 |
lest the land vomit you out, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
|
| 18:29 |
For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the persons that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
|
| 18:30 |
So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and never to defile yourselves by them: I am the LORD your God.'
