| 1 | And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, |
| 2 | 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah 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. |
| 4 | 'My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God; |
| 5 | and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah. |
| 6 | 'None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I [am] Jehovah. |
| 7 | 'The nakedness of thy father and the nakedness of thy mother thou dost not uncover, she [is] thy mother; thou dost not uncover her nakedness. |
| 8 | 'The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover; it [is] the nakedness of thy father. |
| 9 | 'The nakedness of thy sister, daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home or born without; thou dost not uncover their nakedness. |
| 10 | 'The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter: thou dost not uncover their nakedness; for theirs [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. |
| 12 | 'The nakedness of a sister of thy father thou dost not uncover; she [is] a relation of thy father. |
| 13 | 'The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou dost not uncover; for she [is] thy mother's relation. |
| 14 | 'The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; she [is] thine aunt. |
| 15 | 'The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not uncover; she [is] thy son's wife; thou dost not uncover her nakedness. |
| 16 | 'The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou dost not uncover; it [is] thy brother's nakedness. |
| 17 | 'The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her relations; it [is] wickedness. |
| 18 | 'And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life. |
| 19 | 'And unto a woman in the separation of her uncleanness thou dost not draw near to uncover her nakedness. |
| 20 | 'And unto the wife of thy fellow thou dost not give thy seed of copulation, for uncleanness with her. |
| 21 | 'And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the Molech; nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah. |
| 22 | 'And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it [is]. |
| 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]. |
| 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; |
| 25 | and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants: |
| 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, |
| 27 | (for all these abominations have the men of the land done who [are] before you, and the land is 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; |
| 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; |
| 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.' |
