1
And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2
“Speak to the sons of Yisra’el and say to them: I am Yahuah your Elohim.
3
According to the works of the land of Mitzrayim, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the works of the land of Kena’an, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; and in their statutes you shall not walk.
4
My judgments you shall do, and My statutes you shall guard, to walk in them. I am Yahuah your Elohim.
5
And you shall guard My statutes and My judgments, which an Adam shall do and live by them. I am Yahuah.
6
No ish shall draw near to any flesh of his own flesh to uncover nakedness. I am Yahuah.
7
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.
8
The nakedness of the ishah of your father you shall not uncover. It is the nakedness of your father.
9
The nakedness of your sister, daughter of your father or daughter of your mother, whether born in the house or born outside, you shall not uncover their nakedness.
10
The nakedness of your son’s daughter or of your daughter’s daughter, you shall not uncover their nakedness, for theirs is your own nakedness.
11
The nakedness of the daughter of the ishah of your father, brought forth by your father—she is your sister—you shall not uncover her nakedness.
12
The nakedness of your father’s sister you shall not uncover. She is the flesh of your father.
13
The nakedness of your mother’s sister you shall not uncover. She is the flesh of your mother.
14
The nakedness of your father’s brother you shall not uncover; you shall not draw near to his ishah. She is your aunt.
15
The nakedness of your daughter-in-law you shall not uncover. She is the ishah of your son; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
16
The nakedness of the ishah of your brother you shall not uncover. It is the nakedness of your brother.
17
The nakedness of an ishah and her daughter you shall not uncover. You shall not take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to uncover her nakedness. They are her flesh; it is wickedness.
18
And you shall not take an ishah together with her sister, to make her a rival, uncovering her nakedness beside her during her life.
19
And you shall not draw near to an ishah during the uncleanness of her separation to uncover her nakedness.
20
And to the ishah of your companion you shall not give your seed of copulation, becoming unclean with her.
21
And from your seed you shall not give any to cause it to pass over to Molekh, and you shall not profane the name of your Elohim. I am Yahuah.
22
And with a male you shall not lie as the lying with an ishah. It is an abomination.
23
And with any beast you shall not give your lying, becoming unclean with it; and an ishah shall not stand before a beast to lie with it. It is confusion.
24
Do not make yourselves unclean with any of these, for with all these the nations that I am sending away from before your face have made themselves unclean.
25
And the land became unclean, and I visited its iniquity upon it, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
26
But you shall guard My statutes and My judgments and shall not do any of these abominations—the native or the sojourner who sojourns in your midst—
27
for all these abominations the men of the land who were before you did, and the land became unclean,
28
lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29
For whoever does any of these abominations, the beings who do them shall be cut off from the midst of their people.
30
And you shall guard My charge, so that you do not practice any of the abominable statutes that were practiced before you, and so that you do not make yourselves unclean by them. I am Yahuah your Elohim.
