Leuiticus 18

¹And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

²Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord your God.

³After the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, shal ye not doe: and after the doings of land of Canaan whither I bring you, shall ye not doe: neither shall yee walke in their ordinances.

⁴Ye shall doe my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.

⁵Yee shall therefore keepe my statutes, and my iudgements: which if a man doe, hee shall liue in them: I am the Lord.

⁶None of you shall approche to any that is neere of kinne to him, to vncouer their nakednesse: I am the Lord.

⁷The nakednesse of thy father, or the nakednesse of thy mother, shalt thou not vncouer: she is thy mother, thou shalt not vncouer her nakednesse.

⁸The nakednesse of thy fathers wife shalt thou not vncouer: it is thy fathers nakednesse.

⁹The nakednesse of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether shee be borne at home, or borne abroad, euen their nakednesse thou shalt not vncouer.

¹⁰The nakednesse of thy sonnes daughter, or of thy daughters daughter, euen their nakednesse thou shalt not vncouer: for theirs is thine owne nakednesse.

¹¹The nakednesse of thy fathers wiues daughter, begotten of thy father, (she is thy sister,) thou shalt not vncouer her nakednesse.

¹²Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy fathers sister: she is thy fathers neere kinswoman.

¹³Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy mothers sister: for she is thy mothers neere kinswoman.

¹⁴Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy fathers brother, thou shalt not approche to his wife: shee is thine aunt.

¹⁵Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy daughter in law: shee is thy sonnes wife, thou shalt not vncouer her nakednesse.

¹⁶Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy brothers wife: it is thy brothers nakednesse.

¹⁷Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her sonnes daughter, or her daughters daughter, to vncouer her nakednesse: For they are her neere kinsewomen: it is wickednesse.

¹⁸Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vexe her, to vncouer her nakednes besides the other, in her life time.

¹⁹Also thou shalt not approche vnto a woman to vncouer her nakednes, as long as shee is put apart for her vncleannesse.

²⁰Moreouer, thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbours wife, to defile thy selfe with her.

²¹And thou shalt not let any of thy seed passe through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou prophane the Name of thy God: I am the Lord.

²²Thou shalt not lie with mankinde, as with womankinde: it is abomination.

²³Neither shalt thou lie with any beast, to defile thy selfe therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie downe thereto: It is confusion.

²⁴Defile not you your selues in any of these things: for in all these, the nations are defiled which I cast out before you.

²⁵And the land is defiled: Therefore I doe visit the iniquitie thereof vpon it, and the land it selfe vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶Ye shall therefore keepe my Statutes and my Iudgements, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your owne nation, nor any stranger that soiourneth among you:

²⁷(For all these abominations haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled.)

²⁸That the land spew not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.

²⁹For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, euen the soules that commit them, shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰Therefore shal ye keepe mine Ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customes, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not your selues therein: I am the Lord your God.
