Lev 18:1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: Lev 18:2 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them: I am the Lorde your God. Lev 18:3 After the doynges of the lande of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doinges of the lande of Chanaan whyther I wyll bryng you, shall ye not do: neither walke in their ordinaunces. Lev 18:4 But do after my iudgementes, and kepe mine ordinaunces, to walke therin: I am the Lorde your God. Lev 18:5 Ye shall kepe therfore mine ordinaunces, and my iudgementes: which if a man do he shall lyue in them: I am the Lorde. Lev 18:6 None shall approche to any kinred of his fleshe, for to vncouer their nakednesse: I am the Lorde. Lev 18:7 The nakednesse of thy father, & the nakednesse of thy mother shalt thou not vncouer, for she is thy mother: therfore shalt thou not discouer her nakednesse. Lev 18:8 The nakednesse of thy fathers wife shalt thou not discouer: for it is thy fathers nakednesse. Lev 18:9 Thou shalt not discouer the nakednesse of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be borne at home, or without. Lev 18:10 Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy sonnes daughter, or thy daughters daughter, for that is thyne owne nakednesse. Lev 18:11 The nakednesse of thy fathers wiues daughter begotten of thy father, which is thy sister: thou shalt not discouer her nakednesse. Lev 18:12 Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy fathers sister: for she is thy fathers kinswoman. Lev 18:13 Thou shalt not discouer the nakednesse of thy mothers sister: for she is thy mothers kinswoman. Lev 18:14 Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy fathers brother, that is, thou shalt not go in vnto his wyfe, whiche is thyne aunt. Lev 18:15 Thou shalt not discouer ye nakednesse of thy daughter in lawe, for she is thy sonnes wyfe: therefore shalt thou not vncouer her nakednesse. Lev 18:16 Thou shalt not vncouer the nakednesse of thy brothers wife, for that is thy brothers nakednesse. Lev 18:17 Thou shalt not discouer the nakednesse of the wyfe and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her sonnes daughter, or her daughters daughter, to vncouer their nakednesse: For they are her kinswomen, and it were wickednesse. Lev 18:18 Thou shalt not take a wyfe and her sister also, to vexe her, that thou wouldest vncouer her nakednesse vpon her in her lyfe [tyme]. Lev 18:19 Thou shalt also not go vnto a woman to vncouer her nakednesse, as long as she is put apart for her vncleannesse. Lev 18:20 Moreouer, thou shalt not lye with thy neighbours wyfe, to defile her with seede. Lev 18:21 Thou shalt also not geue of thy seede to offer it vnto Moloch, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: I am the Lorde. Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lye with mankynde as with womankynde, for it is abhomination. Lev 18:23 Thou shalt lye with no maner of beast to defile thy selfe therwith: neither shall any woman stande before a beast to lye downe therto, for it is vnnaturall confusion. Lev 18:24 Ye shall not defile your selues in any of these thinges: for in all these, the nations are defiled whiche I cast out before you. Lev 18:25 Wherthrough the lande is defiled, and I wyll visite the wyckednesse thereof vpon it, yea and the lande it selfe hath vomited out her inhabitauntes. Lev 18:26 Ye shall kepe therfore mine ordinaunces and my iudgementes, and commit none of these abhominations, neither any of your owne nation, nor any strauger that soiourneth among you: Lev 18:27 (For all these abhominations, haue the men of the lande done whiche were before you, and the lande is defiled.) Lev 18:28 Shall not the lande spewe you out also if ye defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you? Lev 18:29 For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abhominations, the same soules that commit them shall be cut of from among their people. Lev 18:30 Therefore shall ye kepe myne ordinaunces, that ye commit not one of these abhominable customes whiche were committed before you, and that ye defile not your selues therein: I am the Lorde your God.
