Leviticus 18:1-8 ▼

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. I am the LORD your God.

3 So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life.

4 You must obey all my regulations and be careful to obey my decrees, for I am the LORD your God.

5 If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the LORD.

6 “You must never have sexual relations with a close relative, for I am the LORD.

7 “Do not violate your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; you must not have sexual relations with her.

8 “Do not have sexual relations with any of your father’s wives, for this would violate your father.
