Leviticus 18

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

²`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah your God;

³according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.

⁴`My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah your God;

⁵and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah.

⁶`None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah.

⁷`The nakedness of thy father and the nakedness of thy mother thou dost not uncover, she <FI>is<Fi> thy mother; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

⁸`The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover; it <FI>is<Fi> the nakedness of thy father.

⁹`The nakedness of thy sister, daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home or born without; thou dost not uncover their nakedness.

¹⁰`The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter: thou dost not uncover their nakedness; for theirs <FI>is<Fi> thy nakedness.

¹¹`The nakedness of a daughter of thy father's wife, begotten of thy father, she <FI>is<Fi> thy sister; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

¹²`The nakedness of a sister of thy father thou dost not uncover; she <FI>is<Fi> a relation of thy father.

¹³`The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou dost not uncover; for she <FI>is<Fi> thy mother's relation.

¹⁴`The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; she <FI>is<Fi> thine aunt.

¹⁵`The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not uncover; she <FI>is<Fi> thy son's wife; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

¹⁶`The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou dost not uncover; it <FI>is<Fi> thy brother's nakedness.

¹⁷`The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take to uncover her nakedness; they <FI>are<Fi> her relations; it <FI>is<Fi> wickedness.

¹⁸`And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.

¹⁹`And unto a woman in the separation of her uncleanness thou dost not draw near to uncover her nakedness.

²⁰`And unto the wife of thy fellow thou dost not give thy seed of copulation, for uncleanness with her.

²¹`And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the Molech; nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God; I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah.

²²`And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a woman; abomination it <FI>is<Fi> .

²³`And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for uncleanness with it; and a woman doth not stand before a beast to lie down with it; confusion it <FI>is<Fi> .

²⁴`Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;

²⁵and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:

²⁶and ye--ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not <FI>any<Fi> of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,

²⁷(for all these abominations have the men of the land done who <FI>are<Fi> before you, and the land is defiled),

²⁸and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which <FI>is<Fi> before you;

²⁹for any one who doth <FI>any<Fi> of all these abominations--even the persons who are doing <FI>so<Fi> , have been cut off from the midst of their people;

³⁰and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do <FI>any<Fi> of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah your God.'
