1 Yahweh spoke to Moses: “ 2 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I am Yahweh your God. 3 Do not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, or follow the practices of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You must not follow their customs. 4 You are to practice My ordinances and you are to keep My statutes by following them; I am Yahweh your God. 5 Keep My statutes and ordinances; a person will live if he does them. I am Yahweh.” 6 You are not to come near any close relative for sexual intercourse; I am Yahweh. 7 You are not to shame your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual intercourse with her. Leviticus 18:1-7, Holman Christian Standard Bible. Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2009 by Holman Bible Publishers.
