1 And the LORD spake unto Moses saying

2 Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them I am the LORD your God

3 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

4 Ye shall do my judgments and keep mine ordinances to walk therein I am the LORD your God

5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments which if a man do he shall live in them I am the LORD

6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him to uncover their nakedness I am the LORD

7 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

8 The nakedness of thy ather’s wife shalt thou not uncover it is thy ather’s nakedness

9 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

10 The nakedness of thy son’s daughter or of thy d ghter’s daughter even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover for theirs is thine own nakedness

11 The nakedness of thy ather’s wife’s daughter begotten of thy father she is thy sister thou shalt not uncover her nakedness

12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy ather’s sister she is thy ather’s near kinswoman

13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy other’s sister for she is thy other’s near kinswoman

14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy ather’s brother thou shalt not approach to his wife she is thine aunt

15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law she is thy son’s wife thou shalt not uncover her nakedness

16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy other’s wife it is thy other’s nakedness

17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter or her d ghter’s daughter to uncover her nakedness for they are her near kinswomen it is wickedness

18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to vex her to uncover her nakedness beside the other in her life time

19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness

20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy ne hbour’s wife to defile thyself with her

21 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

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind it is abomination

23 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

24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you

25 And the land is defiled therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants

26 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

27 For all these abominations have the men of the land done which were before you and the land is defiled

28 That the land spue not you out also when ye defile it as it spued out the nations that were before you

29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people

30 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
