Leviticus 18
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the
LORD your God.
- After the doings of the land
of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye
not do: and after the doings of the land
of Canaan, whither I
bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
- Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein:
I am the LORD your God.
- Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man
do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
- None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to
uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
- The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
- The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt
thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
- The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter
of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their
nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
- The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter,
even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for
theirs is thine own nakedness.
- The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy
father, she is thy sister, thou shalt
not uncover her nakedness.
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
father's brother, thou shalt
not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt
not uncover her nakedness.
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of
thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
- Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a
woman and her daughter, neither shalt
thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her
nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
- Neither shalt thou take a wife to her
sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life
time.
- Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman
to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
- Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with
thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
- And thou shalt not let any of thy seed
pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
- Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with
womankind: it is abomination.
- Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to
defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie
down thereto: it is confusion.
- Defile not ye yourselves in any of these
things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
- And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her
inhabitants.
- Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not
commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any
stranger that sojourneth among you:
- (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were before you, and the land is defiled;)
- That the land spue not you out also, when
ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were
before you.
- For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls
that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
- Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one
of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye
defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
