[1]And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, |
| [2]`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah your God; |
[2]Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I am the Lord 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. |
[3]Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances. |
| [4]`My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God; |
[4]Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I am the Lord your God. |
| [5]and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah. |
[5]So ye 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. |

[10]The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or thy daughter's daughter, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; because it 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. |

[17]The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shalt thou not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are thy kinswomen: it is impiety. |
| [18]`And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life. |

[21]And thou shalt not give of thy seed to serve a ruler; and thou shalt not profane my holy name; I am the Lord. |
| [22]`And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it [is]. |
[22]And thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination. |
| [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]. |
[23]Neither shalt thou 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. |
| [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; |
[24]Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you, |
| [25]and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants: |
[25]and 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. |
| [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, |
[26]And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you: |
| [27](for all these abominations have the men of the land done who [are] before you, and the land is defiled), |
[27](for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was 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; |
[28]and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations 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; |
[29]For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among 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.' |
[30]And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God. |
