1 And the Lorde talked with Moses saynge:

2 speake vnto the childern of Israel, ad saye vnto them, I am the Lorde youre God

3 Wherfore after the doynges of the land of Egipte wherein ye dwelt, se that ye doo not: nether after the doynges of the lande of Canaan, whether I will bringe you, nether walke ye in their ordinaunces,

4 but doo after my iudgemetes, and kepe myne ordynaunces, to walke therein: for I am the Lorde youre God.

5 Kepe therfore myne ordinaunces, ad my iudgemetes whiche yf a man doo he shall lyue thereby: for I am the Lorde.

6 Se that ye goo to none of youre nyghest kynred for to vncouer their secrettes, for I am the Lorde.

7 The secrettes of thy father and thy mother, se thou vnheale not: she is thy mother, therfore shalt thou not discouer hir secrettes.

8 The secrettes of thy fathers wife shalt thou not discouer, for they are thy fathers secrettes.

9 Thou shalt not discouer the preuyte of thy syster, the doughter of thy father or of thy mother: whether she be borne at home or without.

10 Thou shalt not discouer the secrettes of thy sonnes doughter or thy doughters doughter, for that is thyne awne preuyte:

11 Thou shalt not discouer the secrettes of thy fathers wyues doughter, which she bare to thy father, for she is thy suster: thou shalt therfore not discouer hir secrettes.
