[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 manner of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, shall ye not do, neither walk in their ordinances,
[4]But do after my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.
[5]Ye shall keep therefore my statutes, and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall then live in them: I am the Lord.
[6]None shall come near to any of the kindred of his flesh to uncover her shame: I am the Lord.
[7]Thou shalt not uncover the shame of thy father, nor the shame of thy mother: for she is thy mother, thou shalt not discover her shame.
[8]The shame of thy father's wife shalt thou not discover: for it is thy father's shame.
[9]Thou shalt not discover the shame of thy sister the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born without: thou shalt not discover their shame.
[10]The shame of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, thou shalt not, I say, uncover their shame: for it is thy shame.
[11]The shame of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father ( for she is thy sister) thou shalt not, I say, discover her shame.
[12]Thou shalt not uncover the shame of thy father's sister: for she is thy father's kinswoman.
[13]Thou shalt not discover the shame of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's kinswoman.
[14]Thou shalt not uncover the shame of thy father's brother: that is, thou shalt not go in to his wife , for she is thine aunt.
[15]Thou shalt not discover the shame of thy daughter in law: for she is thy son's wife: therefore shalt thou not uncover her shame.
[16]Thou shalt not discover the shame of thy brother's wife. for it is thy brother's shame.
[17]Thou shalt not discover the shame of the wife and of her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, nor her daughter's daughter, to uncover her shame: for they are thy kinfolks, and it were wickedness.
[18]Also thou shalt not take a wife with her sister, during her life, to vex her, in uncovering her shame upon her.
[19]Thou shalt not also go unto a woman to uncover her shame, as long as she is put apart for her disease.
[20]Moreover, thou shalt not give thy self to thy neighbor's wife by carnal copulation, to be defiled with her.
[21]Also thou shalt not give thy children to offer them unto Molech, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: for I am the Lord.
[22]Thou shalt not lie with the male as one lieth with a woman: for it is abomination.
[23]Thou shalt not also lie with any beast to be defiled therewith, neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: for it is abomination.
[24]Ye shall not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you:
[25]And the land is defiled: therefore I will visit the wickedness thereof upon it, and the land shall vomit out her inhabitants.
[26]Ye shall keep therefore mine ordinances, and my judgments, and commit none of these abominations, as well he that is of the same country, as the 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]And shall not the land spew you out if ye defile it, as it spewed out the people that were before you?)
[29]For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that do so, shall be cut off from among their people.
[30]Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinances that ye do not any of the abominable customs, which have been done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: for I am the Lord your God.
