Lev 18
1
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I am YHWH your God.
3
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelt, shall you not do: and after
the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall you not do; neither shall
you walk in their statutes.
4
Mine ordinances shall you do, and my statutes shall you keep, to walk therein: I am
YHWH your God.
5
You shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall
live in them: I am YHWH.
6
None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover [their]
nakedness: I am YHWH.
7
The nakedness of your father, even the nakedness of your mother, shall you not uncover:
she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8
The nakedness of your father`s wife shall you not uncover: it is your father`s nakedness.
9
The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your
mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness you shall not uncover.
10
The nakedness of your son`s daughter, or of your daughter`s daughter, even their nakedness
you shall not uncover: for theirs is your own nakedness.
11
The nakedness of your father`s wife`s daughter, engendered of your father, she is
your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness.
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
to 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
And you shall not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival [to her], to uncover her
nakedness, besides the other in her life-time.
19
And you shall not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is
impure by her uncleanness.
20
And you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor`s wife, to defile yourself with
her.
21
And you shall not give any of your seed to make them pass through [the fire] to Molech;
neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am YHWH.
22
You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23
And you shall not lie with any beast to defile yourself therewith; neither shall any
woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24
Defile not you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are
defiled which I cast out from before you;
25
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit its iniquity upon it, and the
land vomits out her inhabitants.
26
You therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of
these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourns among you;
27
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and
the land is defiled);
28
that the land vomit not 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.
30
Therefore shall you keep my charge, that you practise not any of these abominable
customs, which were practised before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein:
I am YHWH your God.
