181Yahweh said to Moses, 2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am Yahweh your God.+3You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.+4You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am Yahweh your God.+5You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.+6“‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.+7“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.+8“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.+9“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.+10“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness. 11“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.+12“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister: she is your father’s near kinswoman.+13“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister: for she is your mother’s near kinswoman. 14“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, you shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.+15“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.+16“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.+17“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.+18“‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.+19“‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.+20“‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.+21“‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.+22“‘You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.+23“‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.+24“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.+25The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.+26You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;+27(for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled);+28that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.+29“‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.+30Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’”+
