1. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2. Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, I am Hashem Eloheichem.
3. After what is done in Eretz Mitzrayim, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after what is done in Eretz Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their chukkot.
4. Ye shall do My mishpatim, and be shomer over My chukkot, to walk therein: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
5. Ye shall therefore be shomer over My chukkot, and My mishpatim; which if an ish do, he shall live by them: I am Hashem.
6. None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to legallot ervah (to uncover nakedness, i.e., incestuously dishonor); I am Hashem.
7. The nakedness of thy av, or the nakedness of thy em, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy em; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8. The nakedness of the wife of thy av shalt thou not uncover; it is the nakedness of thy av.
