Leviticus 18:1-8 ▼

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I am Jehovah your God;

3 according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.

4 My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God;

5 and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I am Jehovah.

6 None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I am Jehovah.

7 The nakedness of thy father and the nakedness of thy mother thou dost not uncover, she is thy mother; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

8 The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover; it is the nakedness of thy father.
