18 ā[1] And the Lord spake with Mosheh, saying:
ā[2] Speak with the sons of Israel, and say to them, I am the Lord your God.
ā[3] After the evil work of the people of the land of Mizraim, among whom you have dwelt, you shall not do; so likewise, after the evil work of the people of the land of Kenaan, whither I am bringing you, ye shall not do, neither shall you walk according to their laws;
ā[4] but you shall perform the orders of My judgments, and observe My statutes to walk in them: I am the Lord your God.
ā[5] And you shall keep My statutes, and the order of My judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them, in the life of eternity, and his portion shall be with the just: I am the Lord.
ā[6] No man, either young or old, shall come nigh to any of the kindred of his flesh to dishonour (their) nakedness by carnality, or by the knowledge of their nakedness. I am the Lord.
ā[7] The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, thou shall not dishonour. A woman shall not lie with her father, nor a man with his mother; she is thy mother: thou shalt not discover her nakedness.
ā[8] The nakedness of thy father's wife thou shalt not dishonour, for it is the nakedness of thy father.
ā[9] The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, (or of her) whom, thy father begat by another wife, or of thy mother, whom thy mother bare by thy father or by another husband, thou shalt not dishonour.
ā[10] The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or the daughter of thy daughter, thou shalt not dishonour, because they are as thy own nakedness.
ā[11] The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, who hath been begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not dishonour.
ā[12] The nakedness of thy father's sister thou shalt not dishonour; she is of kin to thy father's flesh.
ā[13] The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou shall not dishonour; for she is of kin to thy mother's flesh.
ā[14] The nakedness of thy father's brother thou shalt not dishonour, nor come nigh to his wife carnally; she is the wife of thy father's brother.
ā[15] The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou shalt not dishonour; she is the wife of thy son, thou shalt not dishonour her nakedness.
ā[16] The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou shalt not dishonour in the life-time of thy brother, or after his death, if he have children; for it is the nakedness of thy brother.
ā[17] The nakedness of a woman and of her daughter thou shalt not dishonour, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter or the daughter of her daughter, to dishonour their nakedness; for they are of kin to her flesh; it is corruption.
ā[18] Neither shalt thou take a wife in the lifetime of her sister, to aggrieve her by dishonouring her nakedness, over her, all the days of her life.
ā[19] And unto the side of a woman in the time of the separation of her uncleanness thou shalt not draw nigh to dishonour her nakedness.
ā[20] Nor unto the side of thy neighbour's wife shalt thou come to defile her.
ā[21] And of thy offspring thou shalt not give up any to lie carnally with the daughters of the Gentiles, to perform strange worship; nor shalt thou profane the Name of thy God: I am the Lord.
ā[22] Nor with a male person shalt thou lie as with a woman; it is an abhorrent thing.
ā[23] Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to corrupt thyseIf therewith nor shall any woman approach before a beast for evil pleasure; it is confusion.
ā[24] Defile not yourselves by any one of all these; for by all these have the peoples defiled themselves whom I am about to drive away from before you.
ā[25] And the land hath been defiled, and I have visited the guilt upon it, and the land delivereth itself of its inhabitants.
ā[26] But you, O congregation of Israel, observe My statutes, and the order of My judgments, and commit not one of these abominations, neither (you who are) native born, or the strangers who sojourn among you.
ā[27] For these abominable things have been done by the men of the land who have been before you, so that the land hath been polluted:
ā[28] lest, when you pollute the land, it cast you forth, as it will have delivered itself of the people that were before you.
ā[29] For whoever committeth any one of these abominations, the souls who do so shall be destroyed from among their people.
ā[30] Observe you (then) the keeping of My Word, in being careful to avoid the practice of these abominable rites, which have been practised in the land before you, and the defilement of yourselves by them: I am the Lord.
