1And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430. 3AfterH776 the doings of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, whereinH834 ye dweltH3427, shall ye notH3808 doH6213: and afterH776 the doings of the landH776 of CanaanH3667, whither I bringH935 youH834, shall ye notH3808 doH6213: neitherH3808 shall ye walk in their statutesH2708. 4My judgmentsH4941 shall ye doH6213, and my statutesH2708 shall ye keepH8104, to walk therein: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430. 5Ye shall therefore keepH8104 my statutesH2708, and my judgmentsH4941: whichH834 ifH834 a manH120 doH6213, he shall live in them: I am the LORDH3068. 6NoneH3808 of youH3605 shall approachH7126 to anyH3605 that is nearH7126 of kin to him, to uncoverH1540 their nakednessH6172: I am the LORDH3068. 7The nakednessH6172 of thy fatherH1, evenH3808 the nakednessH6172 of thy motherH517, shalt thou notH3808 uncoverH1540: sheH1931 is thy motherH517; thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 herH1540 nakednessH6172. 8The nakednessH6172 of thy father’sH1 wifeH802 shalt thou notH3808 uncoverH1540: it is thy father’sH1 nakednessH6172. 9The nakednessH6172 of thy sisterH269, the daughterH1323 of thy fatherH1, or the daughterH1323 of thy motherH517, whetherH176 bornH4138 at homeH1004, or bornH4138 abroadH2351, evenH3808 their nakednessH6172 thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540. 10The nakednessH6172 of thy son’sH1121 daughterH1323, or of thy daughter’sH1323 daughterH1323, evenH3588 their nakednessH6172 thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540: for theirs is thine own nakednessH6172. 11The nakednessH6172 of thy father’sH1 wife’sH802 daughterH1323, begotten of thy fatherH1, sheH1931 is thy sisterH269, thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 herH1540 nakednessH6172. 12Thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of thy father’sH1 sisterH269: sheH1931 is thy father’sH1 nearH3808 kinswoman. 13Thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of thy mother’sH517 sisterH269: for sheH1931 is thy mother’sH517 nearH3808 kinswoman. 14Thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of thy father’sH1 brotherH251, thou shalt notH3808 approachH7126 to his wifeH802: sheH1931 is thine auntH1733. 15Thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of thy daughter in law: sheH1931 is thy son’sH1121 wifeH802; thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 herH1540 nakednessH6172. 16Thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of thy brother’sH251 wifeH802: it is thy brother’sH251 nakednessH6172. 17Thou shalt notH3808 uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of a womanH802 and herH1540 daughterH1323; thou shalt notH3808 takeH3947 herH1540 son’sH1121 daughterH1323, or herH1540 daughter’sH1323 daughterH1323, to uncoverH1540 herH1540 nakednessH6172; they are nearH3808 kinswomen: it is wickednessH2154. 18And thou shalt notH3808 takeH3947 a womanH802 to herH413 sisterH269, to be a rival to herH413, to uncoverH1540 herH413 nakednessH6172, besideH5921 the otherH269 in herH413 lifeH2416 time. 19And thou shalt notH3808 approachH7126 unto a womanH802 to uncoverH1540 herH413 nakednessH6172, as longH413 as sheH3808 is impure by herH413 uncleannessH5079. 20And thou shalt notH3808 lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wifeH802, to defileH2930 thyself with herH413. 21And thou shalt notH3808 giveH5414 anyH5414 of thy seedH2233 to makeH5414 them passH5674 throughH5674 the fire to MolechH4432, neitherH3808 shalt thou profaneH2490 the nameH8034 of thy GodH430: I am the LORDH3068. 22Thou shalt notH3808 lieH7901 with mankind, as with womankind: it is abominationH8441. 23And thou shalt notH3808 lie with anyH3605 beastH929 to defileH2930 thyself therewith: neitherH3808 shall anyH3605 womanH802 standH5975 beforeH6440 a beastH929, to lie downH5414 thereto: it is confusion. 24DefileH2930 notH408 ye yourselves in anyH3605 of theseH428 things: for in allH3605 theseH428 the nationsH1471 are defiledH2930 whichH834 I castH7971 outH7971 from beforeH6440 youH834: 25And the landH776 is defiledH2930: therefore I do visitH6485 the iniquityH5771 thereof uponH5921 it, and the landH776 vomiteth outH5921 herH5921 inhabitantsH3427. 26Ye therefore shall keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, and shall notH3808 doH6213 anyH3605 of theseH428 abominationsH8441; neitherH3808 the homeborn, norH3808 the strangerH1616 that sojourneth among youH859: 27(for allH3605 theseH411 abominationsH8441 have the menH376 of the landH776 doneH6213, whichH834 were beforeH6440 youH834, and the landH776 is defiledH2930;) 28that the landH776 vomitH6958 notH3808 youH834 outH6440 also, when ye defileH2930 it, as it vomited outH6440 the nationH1471 that was beforeH6440 youH834. 29For whosoever shall doH6213 anyH3605 of theseH428 abominationsH8441, evenH3588 the soulsH5315 that doH6213 them shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from among their peopleH5971. 30Therefore shall ye keepH8104 my chargeH4931, that ye doH6213 notH3808 anyH6440 of theseH834 abominableH8441 customsH2708, whichH834 were doneH6213 beforeH6440 youH834, and that ye defileH2930 notH3808 yourselves therein: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
