* And the LORD spoke 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 all of you dwelt , shall all of you not do : and after the doings of the land of Canaan , where I bring you , shall all of you not do : neither shall all of you walk in their ordinances . * All of you shall do my judgments , and keep mine ordinances , to walk therein : I am the LORD your God . * All of you 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 your father , or the nakedness of your mother , shall you not uncover : she is your mother ; you shall not uncover her nakedness . * The nakedness of your father 's wife shall you not uncover : it is your father 's nakedness . * The nakedness of your sister , the daughter of your father , or daughter of your mother , whether she be born at home , or born abroad , even their nakedness you shall not uncover . * The nakedness of your son 's daughter , or of your daughter 's daughter , even their nakedness you shall not uncover : for theirs is yours own nakedness . * The nakedness of your father 's wife 's daughter , begotten of your father , she is your sister , you shall not uncover her nakedness . * You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father 's sister : she is your father 's near kinswoman . * You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother 's sister : for she is your mother 's near kinswoman . * You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father 's brother , you shall not approach to his wife : she is yours aunt . * You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter in law : she is your son 's wife ; you shall not uncover her nakedness . * You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother 's wife : it is your brother 's nakedness . * You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter , neither shall you take her son 's daughter , or her daughter 's daughter , to uncover her nakedness ; for they are her near kinswomen : it is wickedness . * Neither shall you take a wife to her sister , to vex her , to uncover her nakedness , beside the other in her life time . * Also you shall not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness , as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness . * Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbour 's wife , to defile yourself with her . * And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech , neither shall you profane the name of your God : I am the LORD . * You shall not lie with mankind , as with womankind : it is abomination . * Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself therewith : neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto : it is confusion . * Defile not all of you 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 vomits out her inhabitants . * All of you 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 sojourns 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 spew not you out also , when all of you defile it , as it spewed 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 all of you keep mine ordinance , that all of you commit not any one of these abominable customs , which were committed before you , and that all of you defile not yourselves therein : I am the LORD your God .
