| 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." | ||
