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.
