¹ And the LORD said to Moses,² "Say to the people of Israel, I am the LORD your God.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.⁴ You shall do my ordinances and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.⁵ You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, by doing which a man shall live: I am the LORD.

⁶ "None of you shall approach any one near of kin to him to uncover nakedness. I am the LORD.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.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, for their nakedness is your own nakedness.¹¹ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten 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, that is, 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; she is your brother's nakedness.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 And you shall not take a woman as a rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is yet alive.

¹⁹ "You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.²⁰ And you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, and defile yourself with her.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.²² You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.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.²⁴ "Do not defile yourselves by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am casting out before you defiled themselves;²⁵ and the land became defiled, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.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 you²⁷ (for all of these abominations the men of the land did, who were before you, so that the land became defiled);²⁸ lest the land vomit you out, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.²⁹ For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the persons that do them shall be cut off from among their people.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."
