Leviticus 18:1-8

World English Bible WEB

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, I am Yahweh your God.

3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, in which you lived, you shall not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, you shall not do; neither shall you walk in their statutes.

4 My ordinances shall you do, and my statutes shall you keep, to walk therein: I am Yahweh your God.

5 You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Yahweh.

6 None of you shall approach to any who are close relatives to him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I am Yahweh.

7 The nakedness of your father, even the nakedness of your mother, you shall not uncover: she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

8 The nakedness of your father's wife you shall not uncover: it is your father's nakedness.

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the LORD your God.

3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.

4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God.

5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.

7 “ ‘Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.

8 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; that would dishonor your father.
