| 18 | Leviticus |
|
| 1 |
And Yahweh said to Moses, | Forbidden sexual practices. Lv.18.1-30 |
| 2 |
"Say to the people of Israel, I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 3 |
You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes. | |
| 4 |
You shall do my ordinances and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 5 |
You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, by doing which a man shall live: I am Yahweh. | |
| 6 |
"None of you shall approach any one near of kin to him to uncover nakedness. I am Yahweh. | |
| 7 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. | |
| 8 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness. | |
| 9 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad. | |
| 10 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, for their nakedness is your own nakedness. | |
| 11 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, begotten by your father, since she is your sister. | |
| 12 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your father's near kinswoman. | |
| 13 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's near kinswoman. | |
| 14 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, that is, you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. | |
| 15 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. | |
| 16 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; she is your brother's nakedness. | |
| 17 |
You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, and you shall not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover her nakedness; they are your near kinswomen; it is wickedness. | |
| 18 |
And you shall not take a woman as a rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is yet alive. | |
| 19 |
"You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness. | |
| 20 |
And you shall not lie carnally with your neighbour's wife, and defile yourself with her. | |
| 21 |
You shall not give any of your children to devote them by fire to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am Yahweh. | |
| 22 |
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. | |
| 23 |
And you shall not lie with any beast and defile yourself with it, neither shall any woman give herself to a beast to lie with it: it is perversion. | |
| 24 |
"Do not defile yourselves by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am casting out before you defiled themselves; | |
| 25 |
and the land became defiled, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. | |
| 26 |
But you shall keep my statutes and my ordinances and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you | |
| 27 |
(for all of these abominations the men of the land did, who were before you, so that the land became defiled); | |
| 28 |
lest the land vomit you out, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. | |
| 29 |
For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the persons that do them shall be cut off from among their people. | |
| 30 |
So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and never to defile yourselves by them: I am Yahweh your God." | |
