1. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.
3. After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein 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 statutes.
4. Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.
5. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.
6. None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah.
7. The nakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8. The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.
9. The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
