And God spoke to Moses, saying,
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, ‘I {am} God your God.
According to the work of the land of Egypt in which you dwelt, you shall not do. And according to the work of the land of Canaan to which I am bringing you, you shall not do. And you shall not walk in their statutes. \*
My customs you shall do, and my statutes you shall keep, to walk in them. I {am} God your God.
And you shall keep my statutes and my customs, which the man shall do them and he shall live by them. I {am} God. \*
A man, a man, you shall not draw near to any body of his flesh to uncover nakedness. I am God.
The nakedness of your father and the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She {is} your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
The nakedness of the wife of your father you shall not uncover. It {is} the nakedness of your father. \*
The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, born of {the same} house or born outside {it}, you shall not uncover their nakedness.
The nakedness of the daughter of your son or the daughter of your daughter—you shall not uncover their nakedness, for they {are} your nakedness.
The nakedness of the daughter of the wife of your father, the one born of your father, she {is} your sister. You shall not uncover her nakedness. \*
The nakedness of the sister of your father, you shall not uncover. She is the flesh of your father.
The nakedness of the sister of your mother, you shall not uncover, for she is the flesh of your mother.
The nakedness of the brother of your father, you shall not uncover; to his wife you shall not draw near. She is your aunt. \*
The nakedness of your daughter-in-law, you shall not uncover. She is the wife of your son. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
The nakedness of the wife of your brother, you shall not uncover. She is the nakedness of your brother. \*
The nakedness of a woman and her daughter, you shall not uncover. The daughter of her son or the daughter of her daughter, you shall not take to uncover her nakedness. They are flesh. It is depravity.
And a woman to her sister, you shall not take to be a concubine to uncover her nakedness on her in her life. \*
And to a woman in the menstruation of her uncleanness, you shall not draw near to uncover her nakedness.
And to the wife of your fellow citizen, you shall not give your lying of seed to become unclean with her. \*
And from your seed, you shall not give {them} to cause {them} to pass over to Molech. And you shall not profane the name of your God. I am God. \*
And you shall not lie with a male {as} the lyings of a woman. It is an abomination.
And with any animal you shall not give your lying to become unclean by it. And a woman shall not stand to the face of an animal to mate with it. It {is} perversion. \*
Do not make yourselves unclean in any of these ways, for in all these ways the nations that I am sending out from your faces make themselves unclean.
And the land became unclean, and I visited its iniquity on it. And the land vomited out the ones dwelling {in} it. \*
And you yourselves shall keep my statutes and my customs. And you shall not do any of these abominations—the native-born nor the sojourner, the one sojourning in your midst—
for all these abominations the men of the land who {were} to your faces have done, and the land became unclean.
And the land will not vomit you out in your making it unclean, just as it vomited out the nation that {was} to your faces. \*
For anyone who does any of these abominations—the people who do will be cut off from the midst of their people.
And you shall keep my watch not to do the statutes, the abominations that are done to your faces, and you shall not make yourselves unclean by them. I {am} God your God.’” \*
