1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: I am the Lord your God.
3. After the practices of the land of Egypt, from where you lived, you shall not follow, and after the practices of the land of Canaan, to where I will bring you, you shall not follow; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
4. You shall follow My decrees and keep My ordinances to walk in them: I am the Lord your God.
5. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does them, then he shall live by them: I am the Lord.
6. None of you shall approach any of his near relatives to have relations: I am the Lord.
7. You shall not have relations with your father or have relations with your mother. She is your mother. You shall not have relations with her.
8. You shall not have relations with your father’s wife, for this exposes your father’s nakedness.
9. You shall not have relations with your sister, whether your father’s or mother’s daughter, whether raised in the family or another home.
10. You shall not have relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for this exposes your own nakedness.
