GOD spoke to Moses: “Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, I am GOD, your God. Don’t live like the people of Egypt where you used to live, and don’t live like the people of Canaan where I’m bringing you. Don’t do what they do. Obey my laws and live by my decrees. I am your GOD. Keep my decrees and laws: The person who obeys them lives by them. I am GOD. “Don’t have sex with a close relative. I am GOD. “Don’t violate your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother. Don’t have sex with her. “Don’t have sex with your father’s wife. That violates your father. “Don’t have sex with your sister, whether she’s your father’s daughter or your mother’s, whether she was born in the same house or elsewhere. “Don’t have sex with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter. That would violate your own body. “Don’t have sex with the daughter of your father’s wife born to your father. She is your sister. “Don’t have sex with your father’s sister; she is your aunt, closely related to your father. “Don’t have sex with your mother’s sister; she is your aunt, closely related to your mother. “Don’t violate your father’s brother, your uncle, by having sex with his wife. She is your aunt. “Don’t have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; don’t have sex with her. “Don’t have sex with your brother’s wife; that would violate your brother. “Don’t have sex with both a woman and her daughter. And don’t have sex with her granddaughters either. They are her close relatives. That is wicked. “Don’t marry your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sex with her while your wife is living.
