Leviticus 18:2-16 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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 customs.

4. Mine ordinances shall ye do and my statutes shall ye observe to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God

5. And ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, by which the man that doeth them shall live: I am Jehovah.

6. No one shall approach to any that is his near relation, to uncover his nakedness: I am Jehovah.

7. The nakedness of thy father, and 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 daughter of thy mother, born at home, or born abroad--their nakedness shalt thou not uncover.

10. The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter--their nakedness shalt thou not uncover; for theirs is thy nakedness.

11. The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father: she is thy sister: thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

12. The nakedness of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover: she is thy father's near relation.

13. The nakedness of thy mother's sister shalt thou not uncover; for she is thy mother's near relation.

14. The nakedness of thy father's brother shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not approach his wife: she is thine aunt.
