Leviticus 18:1-8 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.

3 ‘You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes.

4 ‘You are to perform My judgments and keep My statutes, to live in accord with them; I am the LORD your God.

5 ‘So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which a man may live if he does them; I am the LORD.

6 ‘None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the LORD.

7 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you are not to uncover her nakedness.

8 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness.
