I am the LORD your God.

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:

to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.

shalt not uncover her nakedness.
18:8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not

18:9 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

18:10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy
daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not

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.
