Leviticus Chapter 18 (Index)
001 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
002 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
003 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.
004 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
005 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
006 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
007 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
008 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
009 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
010 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
011 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
012 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
013 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
014 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
015 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
016 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
017 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.
018 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
019 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
020 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
021 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.
022 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
023 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.
024 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
025 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
026 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:
027 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
028 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
029 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
030 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.
