1 Unlawful marriages. 19 Unlawful lusts.

 18:1 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

 18:2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I [am] the LORD your God.

 18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt in which ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

 18:4 Ye shall perform my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk in them; I [am] the LORD your God.

 18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments: which if a man doeth, he shall live in them: I [am] the LORD.

 18:6 ¶ None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am the LORD.

 18:7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she [is] thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

 18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it [is] thy father's nakedness.

 18:9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, [whether] born at home, or born abroad, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

 18:10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs [is] thy own nakedness.

 18:11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten by thy father, (she [is] thy sister) thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

 18:12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she [is] thy father's near kinswoman.

 18:13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she [is] thy mother's near kinswoman.

 18:14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she [is] thy aunt.

 18:15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she [is] thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

 18:16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it [is] thy brother's nakedness.

 18:17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it [is] wickedness.

 18:18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex [her], to uncover her nakedness besides the other in her life-[time].

 18:19 Also thou shalt not approach to a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

 18:20 Moreover, thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her.

 18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.

 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.

 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it [is] confusion.

 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

 18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.

 18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, who [were] before you, and the land is defiled;)

 18:28 That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nations that [were] before you.

 18:29 For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit [them] shall be cut off from among their people.

 18:30 Therefore shall ye keep my ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves in them; I [am] the LORD your God.
