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.'
