* 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 . * And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel , and say unto them , Ye shall be holy : for I the LORD your God am holy . * Ye shall fear every man his mother , and his father , and keep my sabbaths : I am the LORD your God . * Turn ye not unto idols , nor make to yourselves molten gods : I am the LORD your God . * And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD , ye shall offer it at your own will . * It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it , and on the morrow : and if ought remain until the third day , it shall be burnt in the fire . * And if it be eaten at all on the third day , it is abominable ; it shall not be accepted . * Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity , because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD : and that soul shall be cut off from among his people . * And when ye reap the harvest of your land , thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field , neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest . * And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard , neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard ; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger : I am the LORD your God . * Ye shall not steal , neither deal falsely , neither lie one to another . * And ye shall not swear by my name falsely , neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God : I am the LORD . * Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour , neither rob him : the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning . * Thou shalt not curse the deaf , nor put a stumblingblock before the blind , but shalt fear thy God : I am the LORD . * Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment : thou shalt not respect the person of the poor , nor honour the person of the mighty : but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour . * Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people : neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour : I am the LORD . * Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart : thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour , and not suffer sin upon him . * Thou shalt not avenge , nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people , but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself : I am the LORD . * Ye shall keep my statutes . Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind : thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed : neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee . * And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman , that is a bondmaid , betrothed to an husband , and not at all redeemed , nor freedom given her ; she shall be scourged ; they shall not be put to death , because she was not free . * And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD , unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , even a ram for a trespass offering . * And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done : and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him . * And when ye shall come into the land , and shall have planted all manner of trees for food , then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised : three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you : it shall not be eaten of . * But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal . * And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof , that it may yield unto you the increase thereof : I am the LORD your God . * Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood : neither shall ye use enchantment , nor observe times . * Ye shall not round the corners of your heads , neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard . * Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead , nor print any marks upon you : I am the LORD . * Do not prostitute thy daughter , to cause her to be a whore ; lest the land fall to whoredom , and the land become full of wickedness . * Ye shall keep my sabbaths , and reverence my sanctuary : I am the LORD . * Regard not them that have familiar spirits , neither seek after wizards , to be defiled by them : I am the LORD your God . * Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head , and honour the face of the old man , and fear thy God : I am the LORD . * And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land , ye shall not vex him . * But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you , and thou shalt love him as thyself ; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt : I am the LORD your God . * Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment , in meteyard , in weight , or in measure . * Just balances , just weights , a just ephah , and a just hin , shall ye have : I am the LORD your God , which brought you out of the land of Egypt . * Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes , and all my judgments , and do them : I am the LORD . * And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying ,
