Leviticus 18:1 In-Context

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 "Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them: `I am the LORD your God.
3 According to the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

5 Ye shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
