Leviticus 18:1 In-Context

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, I [am] the LORD your God.

3 After the doings of the land of Egypt in which ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
