Leviticus 18:1 In-Context

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I the Lord your God.

3 Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.
