1 The LORD said to Moses: 2 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: I, the LORD, am your God. 3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you once lived, nor shall you do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; do not conform to their customs. 4 My decrees you shall carry out, and my statutes you shall take care to follow. I, the LORD, am your God. 5 Keep, then, my statutes and decrees, for the person who carries them out will find life through them. I am the LORD. 6 None of you shall approach a close relative to have sexual intercourse. I am the LORD. 7 You shall not disgrace your father by having intercourse with your mother. She is your own mother; you shall not have intercourse with her. Leviticus 18:1-7, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
