⁶“ ‘Noneⁱ of you shall approach anyone who is his close relative^j to expose nakedness; I am Yahweh. ⁷You must not expose your father’s nakedness or^k your mother’s nakedness—she is your mother; you must not expose her nakedness. ⁸You must not expose the nakedness of your father’s wife—it is your father’s nakedness. ⁹As for your sister’s nakedness, whether your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether born at home^l or born abroad,^m you must not expose their nakedness. ¹⁰As for the nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, you must not expose their nakedness, because they are your nakedness. ¹¹As for the nakedness of the daughter of your father’s wife, she is your sister, a relative of your father; you must not expose her nakedness. ¹²You must not expose the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is your father’s close relative.ⁿ ¹³You must not expose the nakedness of your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s close relative.^o ¹⁴You must not expose the nakedness of your father’s brother; you must not have sex with^p his wife—she is your aunt. ¹⁵You must not expose your daughter-in-law’s nakedness; she is your son’s wife; you must not expose her nakedness. ¹⁶You must not expose the nakedness of your brother’s wife; she is your brother’s nakedness. ¹⁷You must not expose the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, or her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter; you must not take her as wife^q to expose her nakedness; they are close relatives^r—that is wickedness. ¹⁸And you must not take as wife^s a woman with her sister, to be a rival-wife, to expose her nakedness before her during^t her life.

¹⁹“ ‘And you must not have sex with^u a woman to expose her nakedness during^v her menstrual uncleanness. ²⁰And you must not have sex^w with your fellow citizen’s^x wife, becoming unclean with her.

²¹“ ‘And you shall not give any of^y your offspring^z in order to sacrifice them to Molech, nor^a shall you profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh. ²²And you shall not lie with a male as lying with^b a woman; that is a detestable thing. ²³And you shall not have sexual relations^c with any animal, becoming unclean with it; and a woman shall not stand before^d an animal to copulate with it—that is a perversion.
