1The LORD said to Moses,1וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
2"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'I am the LORD your God.2דַּבֵּר֙ אֶל־ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאָמַרְתָּ֖ אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
3You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.3כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֧ה אֶֽרֶץ־ מִצְרַ֛יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְשַׁבְתֶּם־ בָּ֖הּ לֹ֣א תַעֲשׂ֑וּ וּכְמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה אֶֽרֶץ־ כְּנַ֡עַן אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲנִי֩ מֵבִ֨יא אֶתְכֶ֥ם שָׁ֙מָּה֙ לֹ֣א תַעֲשׂ֔וּ וּבְחֻקֹּתֵיהֶ֖ם לֹ֥א תֵלֵֽכוּ׃
4You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God.4אֶת־ מִשְׁפָּטַ֧י תַּעֲשׂ֛וּ וְאֶת־ חֻקֹּתַ֥י תִּשְׁמְר֖וּ לָלֶ֣כֶת בָּהֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
5Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.5וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֤ם אֶת־ חֻקֹּתַי֙ וְאֶת־ מִשְׁפָּטַ֔י אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתָ֛ם הָאָדָ֖ם וָחַ֣י בָּהֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃ ס
6"'No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.6אִ֥ישׁ אִישׁ֙ אֶל־ כָּל־ שְׁאֵ֣ר בְּשָׂר֔וֹ לֹ֥א תִקְרְב֖וּ לְגַלּ֣וֹת עֶרְוָ֑ה אֲנִ֖י יְהוָֽה׃ ס
7"'Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.7עֶרְוַ֥ת אָבִ֛יךָ וְעֶרְוַ֥ת אִמְּךָ֖ לֹ֣א תְגַלֵּ֑ה אִמְּךָ֣ הִ֔וא לֹ֥א תְגַלֶּ֖ה עֶרְוָתָֽהּ׃ ס
8"'Do not have sexual relations with your father's wife; that would dishonor your father.8עֶרְוַ֥ת אֵֽשֶׁת־ אָבִ֖יךָ לֹ֣א תְגַלֵּ֑ה עֶרְוַ֥ת אָבִ֖יךָ הִֽוא׃ ס
9"'Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.9עֶרְוַ֨ת אֲחֽוֹתְךָ֤ בַת־ אָבִ֙יךָ֙ א֣וֹ בַת־ אִמֶּ֔ךָ מוֹלֶ֣דֶת בַּ֔יִת א֖וֹ מוֹלֶ֣דֶת ח֑וּץ לֹ֥א תְגַלֶּ֖ה עֶרְוָתָֽן׃ ס
10"'Do not have sexual relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter; that would dishonor you.10עֶרְוַ֤ת בַּת־ בִּנְךָ֙ א֣וֹ בַֽת־ בִּתְּךָ֔ לֹ֥א תְגַלֶּ֖ה עֶרְוָתָ֑ן כִּ֥י עֶרְוָתְךָ֖ הֵֽנָּה׃ ס
11"'Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father's wife, born to your father; she is your sister.11עֶרְוַ֨ת בַּת־ אֵ֤שֶׁת אָבִ֙יךָ֙ מוֹלֶ֣דֶת אָבִ֔יךָ אֲחוֹתְךָ֖ הִ֑וא לֹ֥א תְגַלֶּ֖ה עֶרְוָתָֽהּ׃ ס

13"'Do not have sexual relations with your mother's sister, because she is your mother's close relative.13עֶרְוַ֥ת אֲחֽוֹת־ אִמְּךָ֖ לֹ֣א תְגַלֵּ֑ה כִּֽי־ שְׁאֵ֥ר אִמְּךָ֖ הִֽוא׃ ס

17"'Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sexual relations with either her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter; they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.17עֶרְוַ֥ת אִשָּׁ֛ה וּבִתָּ֖הּ לֹ֣א תְגַלֵּ֑ה אֶֽת־ בַּת־ בְּנָ֞הּ וְאֶת־ בַּת־ בִּתָּ֗הּ לֹ֤א תִקַּח֙ לְגַלּ֣וֹת עֶרְוָתָ֔הּ שַׁאֲרָ֥ה הֵ֖נָּה זִמָּ֥ה הִֽוא‪‬
18"'Do not take your wife's sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living.18וְאִשָּׁ֥ה אֶל־ אֲחֹתָ֖הּ לֹ֣א תִקָּ֑ח לִצְרֹ֗ר לְגַלּ֧וֹת עֶרְוָתָ֛הּ עָלֶ֖יהָ בְּחַיֶּֽיהָ׃

21"'Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.21וּמִֽזַּרְעֲךָ֥ לֹא־ תִתֵּ֖ן לְהַעֲבִ֣יר לַמֹּ֑לֶךְ וְלֹ֧א תְחַלֵּ֛ל אֶת־ שֵׁ֥ם אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
22"'Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.22וְאֶ֨ת־ זָכָ֔ר לֹ֥א תִשְׁכַּ֖ב מִשְׁכְּבֵ֣י אִשָּׁ֑ה תּוֹעֵבָ֖ה הִֽוא׃
23"'Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.23וּבְכָל־ בְּהֵמָ֛ה לֹא־ תִתֵּ֥ן שְׁכָבְתְּךָ֖ לְטָמְאָה־ בָ֑הּ וְאִשָּׁ֗ה לֹֽא־ תַעֲמֹ֞ד לִפְנֵ֧י בְהֵמָ֛ה לְרִבְעָ֖הּ תֶּ֥בֶל הֽוּא׃
24"'Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled.24אַל־ תִּֽטַּמְּא֖וּ בְּכָל־ אֵ֑לֶּה כִּ֤י בְכָל־ אֵ֙לֶּה֙ נִטְמְא֣וּ הַגּוֹיִ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־ אֲנִ֥י מְשַׁלֵּ֖חַ מִפְּנֵיכֶֽם׃
25Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.25וַתִּטְמָ֣א הָאָ֔רֶץ וָאֶפְקֹ֥ד עֲוֺנָ֖הּ עָלֶ֑יהָ וַתָּקִ֥א הָאָ֖רֶץ אֶת־ יֹשְׁבֶֽיהָ׃
26But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things,26וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֣ם אַתֶּ֗ם אֶת־ חֻקֹּתַי֙ וְאֶת־ מִשְׁפָּטַ֔י וְלֹ֣א תַעֲשׂ֔וּ מִכֹּ֥ל הַתּוֹעֵבֹ֖ת הָאֵ֑לֶּה הָֽאֶזְרָ֔ח וְהַגֵּ֖ר הַגָּ֥ר בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם׃
27for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled.27כִּ֚י אֶת־ כָּל־ הַתּוֹעֵבֹ֣ת הָאֵ֔ל עָשׂ֥וּ אַנְשֵֽׁי־ הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לִפְנֵיכֶ֑ם וַתִּטְמָ֖א הָאָֽרֶץ׃
28And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.28וְלֹֽא־ תָקִ֤יא הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֶתְכֶ֔ם בְּטַֽמַּאֲכֶ֖ם אֹתָ֑הּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר קָאָ֛ה אֶת־ הַגּ֖וֹי אֲשֶׁ֥ר לִפְנֵיכֶֽם׃
29"'Everyone who does any of these detestable things--such persons must be cut off from their people.29כִּ֚י כָּל־ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יַעֲשֶׂ֔ה מִכֹּ֥ל הַתּוֹעֵב֖וֹת הָאֵ֑לֶּה וְנִכְרְת֛וּ הַנְּפָשׁ֥וֹת הָעֹשֹׂ֖ת מִקֶּ֥רֶב עַמָּֽם׃
30Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.'"30וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֣ם אֶת־ מִשְׁמַרְתִּ֗י לְבִלְתִּ֨י עֲשׂ֜וֹת מֵחֻקּ֤וֹת הַתּֽוֹעֵבֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נַעֲשׂ֣וּ לִפְנֵיכֶ֔ם וְלֹ֥א תִֽטַּמְּא֖וּ בָּהֶ֑ם אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ פ
