Leviticus 18

18And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, ^aI am the Lord your God. ^3bAfter the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and ^cafter the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ^dordinances. ^4eYe shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God. ⁵Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: ^fwhich if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord.

⁶None of you shall approach to any that is ^†near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord. ^7gThe nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. ^8hThe nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness. ⁹ⁱThe 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. ¹⁰The 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. ¹¹The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. ¹²Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman. ¹³Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman. ¹⁴Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. ^15kThou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. ^16lThou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness. ¹⁷Thou 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: ^mit is wickedness. ¹⁸Neither shalt thou take ^||a wife to her sister, ⁿto vex her, to uncover her nakedness, ^obeside the other in her life time. ^19pAlso thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. ²⁰Moreover ^qthou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her. ²¹And thou shalt not let any of thy seed ^rpass through the fire to ^s||Molech, neither shalt thou ^tprofane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. ^22uThou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. ^23xNeither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is ^yconfusion. ^24zDefile not ye yourselves in any of these things: ^afor in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: ²⁵And ^bthe land is defiled: therefore I do ^cvisit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself ^dvomiteth out her inhabitants. ^26eYe 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;) ²⁸That ^fthe land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. ²⁹For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them ^gshall be cut off from among their people. ^30hTherefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, ⁱthat ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye ^kdefile not yourselves therein: ^lI am the Lord your God.
