18Verse 1And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,Verse 2Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I am your Lord God;Verse 3ye shall not do by the custom of the land of Egypt, in which ye dwelled; ye shall not do by the custom of the land of Canaan, to which I shall bring you in, neither ye shall go in the lawful things of them, that is, in their custom of worshipping.Verse 4Ye shall do my dooms, and ye shall keep my behests, and ye shall go in them; I am your Lord God.Verse 5Keep ye my laws and dooms, which a man shall do, and he shall live in those [or them]; I am your Lord God.Verse 6A man shall not nigh to a nigh woman of his blood, that he show her filthhood or nakedness; I am the Lord.Verse 7Thou shalt not discover the filth-hood of thy father, and the filthhood of thy mother; she is thy mother, thou shalt not show her filthhood.Verse 8Thou shalt not uncover the filth-hood of the wife of thy father, for it is the filthhood of thy father.Verse 9Thou shalt not show the filthhood of thy sister, of father, either of mother, which sister is begotten at home, that is, in wedlock, either withoutforth, that is, out of wedlock.Verse 10Thou shalt not show the filthhood of the daughter of thy son, either of thy niece, that is, the daughter of thy daughter, for it is thy filthhood.Verse 11Thou shalt not show the filthhood of the daughter of the wife of thy father, which she childed to thy father, and she is thy sister.Verse 12Thou shalt not open the filthhood of thy father’s sister, for she is the flesh of thy father.Verse 13Thou shalt not show the filthhood of the sister of thy mother, for she is the flesh of thy mother.Verse 14Thou shalt not show the filthhood of the brother of thy father, neither thou shalt nigh to his wife, that is joined to thee by affinity.Verse 15Thou shalt not show the filthhood of thy son’s wife, for she is the wife of thy son, neither thou shalt discover her shame; and no man take his brother’s wife.Verse 16Thou shalt not show the filth-hood of thy brother’s wife, for it is the filthhood of thy brother.Verse 17Thou shalt not show the filthhood of a woman, and of her daughter; thou shalt not take the daughter of her son, and the daughter of her daughter, that thou show her shame; they be the flesh of her, and such lechery is incest, that is, lechery of them that be kin.Verse 18Thou shalt not take the sister of thy wife, to anguish of her, neither thou shalt show her filthhood, while thy wife liveth yet.Verse 19Thou shalt not nigh to a woman that suffereth the running of blood of month, neither thou shalt show her filthhood.Verse 20Thou shalt not do lechery with thy neighbour’s wife, neither thou shalt be defouled with meddling [or mingling together] of seed.Verse 21Thou shalt not give of thy seed, that it be offered to the idol Moloch, neither thou shalt defoul the name of thy God; I am the Lord.Verse 22Thou shalt not be meddled [or mingled] with a man, by lechery of a woman, for it is abomination.Verse 23Thou shalt not do lechery with any beast, neither thou shalt be defouled with it. A woman shall not lie under a beast, neither shall be meddled [or mingled] therewith, that is, defouled by fleshly knowing thereof, for it is great sin.Verse 24Be ye not defouled in all these things, in which all folks, either heathen men, be defouled, which folks I shall cast out before your sight,Verse 25of whom the land is defouled, of which land I shall visit the great sins, that it vomit, or throw out, his dwellers.Verse 26Keep ye my lawful things, and my dooms, that ye do not any of all these abominations, as well a man born in the land, as a comeling that is a pilgrim with you.Verse 27For the dwellers of the land, that were before you, did all these abominations, and defouled that land.Verse 28Therefore beware, lest it cast out vilely you in the same manner, when ye shall do such sins, as it casted out vilely the folk, that was before you.Verse 29Each man that shall do anything of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.Verse 30Keep ye my behests; do not ye do those things, which they that were before you did, and be ye not defouled in those [or them]; I am your Lord God.
