6“None of you shall approach anyone near of kin to uncover nakedness: I am the Lord. 7You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.* 8You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is the nakedness of your father. 9You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether born at home or born abroad.* 10You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter or of your daughter’s daughter, for their nakedness is your own nakedness. 11You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, born in your father’s house, since she is your sister. 12You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is your father’s flesh.* 13You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s flesh. 14You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother; that is, you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt.* 15You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law: she is your son’s wife; you shall not uncover her nakedness.* 16You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness.* 17You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, and you shall not takee her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to uncover her nakedness; they are yourf flesh; it is depravity.* 18And you shall not takeg a woman as a rival to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is still alive.

19“You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.* 20You shall not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife and defile yourself with her.* 21You shall not give any of your offspring to sacrifice themh to Molech and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.* 22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.* 23You shall not have sexual relations with any animal and defile yourself with it, nor shall any woman give herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; it is perversion.*
