Lord your God.
18:3 Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt:
and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you,
ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.
18:4 Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall
walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
18:5 So ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them;
which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
18:6 No man shall draw nigh to any of his near kindred to uncover their
nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
18:7 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of

18:22 And thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an
abomination.

polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped
to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
18:24 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these
things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
18:25 and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to
them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
18:26 And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall
do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that
joins himself with you:
18:27 (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before
you, and the land was defiled,)
18:28 and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it
was aggrieved with the nations before you.
18:29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do
them shall be destroyed from among their people.
18:30 And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the
abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall
not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your God. |

18:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD
your God.
18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein 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 do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I
am the LORD your God.
18:5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man
do, 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.

18:16 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, beside the other in her life time.
18:19 Also thou shalt not approach unto 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 the iniquity thereof
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, which were
before you, and the land is defiled;)
18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued
out the nations that were before you.
18:29 For whosoever 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 mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of
these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye
defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God. |
