¹ And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

² Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord your God.

³ After ye doings of the land of Egypt, wherin ye dwelt, shall ye not doe: and after the maner of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, shall ye not do, neither walke in their ordinances,

⁴ But do after my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.

⁵ Ye shall keepe therefore my statutes, and my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall then liue in them: I am the Lord.

⁶ None shall come neere to any of ye kinred of his flesh to vncouer her shame: I am the Lord.

⁷ Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy father, nor the shame of thy mother: for she is thy mother, thou shalt not discouer her shame.

⁸ The shame of thy fathers wife shalt thou not discouer: for it is thy fathers shame.

⁹ Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy sister the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether shee bee borne at home, or borne without: thou shalt not discouer their shame.

¹⁰ The shame of thy sonnes daughter, or of thy daughters daughter, thou shalt not, I say, vncouer their shame: for it is thy shame.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy brothers wife. for it is thy brothers shame.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not discouer the shame of the wife and of her daughter, neither shalt thou take her sonnes daughter, nor her daughters daughter, to vncouer her shame: for they are thy kinsfolkes, and it were wickednesse.

¹⁸ Also thou shalt not take a wife with her sister, during her life, to vexe her, in vncouering her shame vpon her.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not also go vnto a woman to vncouer her shame, as long as she is put apart for her disease.

²⁰ Moreouer, thou shalt not giue thy selfe to thy neighbours wife by carnall copulation, to be defiled with her.

²² Thou shalt not lie with ye male as one lieth with a woman: for it is abomination.

²³ Thou shalt not also lie with any beast to bee defiled therewith, neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie downe thereto: for it is abomination.

²⁴ Yee shall not defile your selues in any of these things: for in al these the nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you:

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye shall keepe therefore mine ordinances, and my iudgements, and commit none of these abominations, aswell hee that is of the same countrey, as the straunger that soiourneth among you.

²⁷ (For all these abominations haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:

²⁸ And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)

²⁹ For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall yee keepe mine ordinances that ye do not any of the abominable customes, which haue bene done before you, and that yee defile not your selues therein: for I am the Lord your God.
