Leviticus 18 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh said to Moses,
[2] “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am Yahweh your God.
[3] You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.
[4] You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am Yahweh your God.
[5] You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.
[6] “ ‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am Yahweh.
[7] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
[8] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.
[9] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.
[10] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness; for theirs is your own nakedness.
[11] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.
[12] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.
[13] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
[14] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.
[15] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
[16] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.
[17] “ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.
[18] “ ‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.
[19] “ ‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
[20] “ ‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
[21] “ ‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
[22] “ ‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.
[23] “ ‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
[24] “ ‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
[25] The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
[26] You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you
[27] (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),
[28] that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
[29] “ ‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
[30] Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’ ”

[1] And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872, saying H559 (8800),
[2] Speak H1696 (8761) unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478, and say H559 (8804) unto them, I am the LORD H3068 your God H430.
[3] After the doings H4639 of the land H776 of Egypt H4714, wherein ye dwelt H3427 (8804), shall ye not do H6213 (8799): and after the doings H4639 of the land H776 of Canaan H3667, whither I bring H935 (8688) you, shall ye not do H6213 (8799): neither shall ye walk H3212 (8799) in their ordinances H2708.
[4] Ye shall do H6213 (8799) my judgments H4941, and keep H8104 (8799) mine ordinances H2708, to walk H3212 (8800) therein: I [am] the LORD H3068 your God H430.
[5] Ye shall therefore keep H8104 (8804) my statutes H2708, and my judgments H4941: which H834 if a man H120 do H6213 (8799), he shall live H2425 (8804) in them: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[6] None of you shall approach H7126 (8799) to any H376 that is near H7607 of kin H1320 to him, to uncover H1540 (8763) [their] nakedness H6172: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[7] The nakedness H6172 of thy father H1, or the nakedness H6172 of thy mother H517, shalt thou not uncover H1540 (8762): she [is] thy mother H517; thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) her nakedness H6172.
[8] The nakedness H6172 of thy father’s H1 wife H802 shalt thou not uncover H1540 (8762): it [is] thy father’s H1 nakedness H6172.
[9] The nakedness H6172 of thy sister H269, the daughter H1323 of thy father H1, or daughter H1323 of thy mother H517, [whether she be] born H4138 at home H1004, or born H4138 abroad H2351, [even] their nakedness H6172 thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762).
[10] The nakedness H6172 of thy son’s H1121 daughter H1323, or of thy daughter’s H1323 daughter H1323, [even] their nakedness H6172 thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762): for theirs H2007 [is] thine own nakedness H6172.
[11] The nakedness H6172 of thy father’s H1 wife’s H802 daughter H1323, begotten H4138 of thy father H1, she [is] thy sister H269, thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) her nakedness H6172.
[12] Thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) the nakedness H6172 of thy father’s H1 sister H269: she [is] thy father’s H1 near kinswoman H7607.
[13] Thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) the nakedness H6172 of thy mother’s H517 sister H269: for she [is] thy mother’s H517 near kinswoman H7607.
[14] Thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) the nakedness H6172 of thy father’s H1 brother H251, thou shalt not approach H7126 (8799) to his wife H802: she [is] thine aunt H1733.
[15] Thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) the nakedness H6172 of thy daughter in law H3618: she [is] thy son’s H1121 wife H802; thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) her nakedness H6172.
[16] Thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) the nakedness H6172 of thy brother’s H251 wife H802: it [is] thy brother’s H251 nakedness H6172.
[17] Thou shalt not uncover H1540 (8762) the nakedness H6172 of a woman H802 and her daughter H1323, neither shalt thou take H3947 (8799) her son’s H1121 daughter H1323, or her daughter’s H1323 daughter H1323, to uncover H1540 (8763) her nakedness H6172; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen H7608: it [is] wickedness H2154.
[18] Neither shalt thou take H3947 (8799) a wife H802 to her sister H269, to vex H6887 (8800) [her], to uncover H1540 (8763) her nakedness H6172, beside the other in her life H2416 [time].
[19] Also thou shalt not approach H7126 (8799) unto a woman H802 to uncover H1540 (8763) her nakedness H6172, as long as she is put apart H5079 for her uncleanness H2932.
[20] Moreover thou shalt not H5414 (8799) lie H7903 carnally H2233 with thy neighbour’s H5997 wife H802, to defile H2930 (8800) thyself with her.
[21] And thou shalt not H5414 (8799) let any of thy seed H2233 pass H5674 (8687) through [the fire] to Molech H4432, neither shalt thou profane H2490 (8762) the name H8034 of thy God H430: I [am] the LORD H3068.
[22] Thou shalt not lie H7901 (8799) with mankind H2145, as with H4904 womankind H802: it [is] abomination H8441.
[23] Neither shalt thou H5414 (8799) lie H7903 with any beast H929 to defile H2930 (8800) thyself therewith: neither shall any woman H802 stand H5975 (8799) before H6440 a beast H929 to lie down H7250 (8800) thereto: it [is] confusion H8397.
[24] Defile H2930 (8691) not ye yourselves in any of these things H428: for in all these the nations H1471 are defiled H2930 (8738) which I cast out H7971 (8764) before H6440 you:
[25] And the land H776 is defiled H2930 (8799): therefore I do visit H6485 (8799) the iniquity H5771 thereof upon it, and the land H776 itself vomiteth out H6958 (8686) her inhabitants H3427 (8802).
[26] Ye shall therefore keep H8104 (8804) my statutes H2708 and my judgments H4941, and shall not commit H6213 (8799) [any] of these abominations H8441; [neither] any of your own nation H249, nor any stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 (8802) among H8432 you:
[27] (For all these H411 abominations H8441 have the men H582 of the land H776 done H6213 (8804), which [were] before H6440 you, and the land H776 is defiled H2930 (8799);)
[28] That the land H776 spue not you out H6958 (8686) also, when ye defile H2930 (8763) it, as it spued out H6958 (8804) the nations H1471 that [were] before H6440 you.
[29] For whosoever shall commit H6213 (8799) any of these abominations H8441, even the souls H5315 that commit H6213 (8802) [them] shall be cut off H3772 (8738) from among H7130 their people H5971.
[30] Therefore shall ye keep H8104 (8804) mine ordinance H4931, that [ye] commit H6213 (8800) not [any one] of these abominable H8441 customs H2708, which were committed H6213 (8738) before H6440 you, and that ye defile H2930 (8691) not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD H3068 your God H430.
