1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I am the Lord your God.
3. You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
4. You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
5. Keep my laws and judgments; when a man does these, he shall live by them. I am the Lord.
6. No man shall approach her who is a close blood-relative to him, so as to uncover her nakedness. I am the Lord.
7. You shall not expose the nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8. You shall not expose the nakedness of your father's wife; for it is the nakedness of your father.
9. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, whether from father or from mother, whether she was born at home or abroad.
10. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter, or your daughter's daughter; for it is your own nakedness.
11. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, whom she bore to your father, and who is your sister.
12. You shall not expose the nakedness of your father's sister; for she is the flesh of your father.
