Chapter 18

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
² Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: I am the Lord your God.
³ You shall not do according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you dwelt: neither shall you act according to the manner of the country of Chanaan, into which I will bring you, nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
⁴ You shall do my judgments, and shall observe my precepts, and shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
⁵ Keep my laws and my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. I am the Lord.
⁶ No man shall approach to her that is near of kin to him, to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
⁷ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother: she is thy mother, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
⁸ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife: for it is the nakedness of thy father.
⁹ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy sister by father or by mother, whether born at home or abroad.
¹⁰ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy son's daughter, or thy daughter's daughter: because it is thy own nakedness.
¹¹ 11Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, whom she bore to thy father, and who is thy sister.
¹² Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: because she is the flesh of thy father.
¹³ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: because she is thy mother's flesh.
¹⁴ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother: neither shalt thou approach to his wife, who is joined to thee by affinity.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: because it is the nakedness of thy brother.
¹⁷ Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy wife and her daughter. Thou shalt not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, to discover her shame: because they are her flesh, and such copulation is incest.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers, neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness.

²¹ Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God : I am the Lord.
²² Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination.
²³ Thou shalt not copulate with any beast, neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime.
²⁴ Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,
²⁵ And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.
²⁶ Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.
²⁷ For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it.
²⁸ Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
²⁹ Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.
³⁰ Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.

Chapter 18

¹ And the Lord said to Moses,
² Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
³ You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
⁴ But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
⁵ So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
⁶ You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.
⁷ You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
⁸ And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
⁹ You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
¹⁰ You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
¹¹ Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.
¹² You may not have sex connection with your father's sister, for she is your father's near relation.
¹³ You may not have sex connection with your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near relation.
¹⁴ You may not have sex relations with the wife of your father's brother, for she is of your family;
¹⁵ Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
¹⁶ You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
¹⁷ You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
¹⁸ And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
¹⁹ And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.
²⁰ And you may not have sex relations with your neighbour's wife, making yourself unclean with her.
²¹ And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.
²² You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.
²³ And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.
²⁴ Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
²⁵ And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.
²⁶ So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:
²⁷ (For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;)
²⁸ So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.
²⁹ For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.
³⁰ So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.
