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