Leviticus 18:1-23

Leviticus 18:1-23 WMBBE

The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God. You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes. You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God. You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am the LORD. “‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness; for theirs is your own nakedness. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness. “‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive. “‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness. “‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbour’s wife, and defile yourself with her. “‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD. “‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable. “‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
