Leviticus 18:3-16 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

3. You are not to act as they do in the land of Egypt, where you used to live. Nor are you to act as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, nor are you to walk in their customs.

4. You are to obey My ordinances and keep My statutes and walk in them—I am Adonai your God.

5. So you are to keep My statutes and My ordinances. The one who does them will live by them. I am Adonai.

6. “None of you is to come near anyone who is his close relatives to uncover their nakedness. I am Adonai.

7. “You are not to uncover the nakedness of your father or your mother. She is your mother. You should not uncover her nakedness.

8. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife, for it is your father’s nakedness.

9. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere.

10. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, for theirs is your own nakedness.

11. You are not to uncover the nakedness of the daughter of your father’s wife, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.

12. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister, for she is your father’s direct relative.

13. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s direct relative.

14. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother by approaching his wife, for she is your aunt.

15. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife. You are not to uncover her nakedness.

16. You are not to uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife, because that is your brother’s nakedness.
