And the LORD talked with Moses saying: speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. Wherefore after the
doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, see that ye do not:
neither after the doings of the land of Canaan, whether I will bring
you, neither walk ye in their ordinances, but do after my judgments,
and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: for I am the LORD your God.
Keep therefore mine ordinances, and my judgments which if a man do he
shall live thereby: for I am the LORD. See that ye go to none of your
nyest kindred for to uncover their secrets, for I am the LORD. The
secrets of thy father and thy mother, see thou unhele not: she is thy
mother, therefore shalt thou not discover her secrets. The secrets of
thy father's wife shalt thou not discover, for they are thy father's
secrets. Thou shalt not discover the privity of thy sister, the
daughter of thy father or of thy mother: whether she be born at home or
without. Thou shalt not discover the secrets of thy son's daughter or
thy daughter's daughter, for that is thine own privity: Thou shalt not
discover the secrets of thy father's wife's daughter, which she bare to
thy father, for she is thy sister: thou shalt therefore not discover
her secrets. Thou shalt not uncover the secrets of thy father's sister,
for she is thy father's next kin. {kinswoman.} Thou shalt not discover
the secrets of thy mother's sister, for she is thy mother's next kin.
{kinswoman.} Thou shalt not open {uncover} the secrets of thy father's
brother: that is thou shalt not go in to his wife, for she is thine
aunt. Thou shalt not discover {privities} the secrets of thy
daughter-in-law she is thy son's wife: therefore uncover not her
secrets. Thou shalt not unhele the secrets of thy brother's wife, for
that is thy brother's privity. Thou shalt not discover the privates of
the wife and her daughter also, neither shalt thou take her son's
daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover their secrets, they are
her next kin, it were therefore wickedness. Thou shalt not take a wife
and her sister thereto, to vex her that thou wouldest open her secrets
as long as she liveth. Thou shalt not go unto a woman to open her
secrets, {uncover her privity} as long as she is put apart for her
uncleanness. Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour's wife, to defile
thyself with her. Thou shalt not give of thy seed to offer it unto
Moloch, that thou defile not the name of thy God, for I am the LORD.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, for that is
abomination. Thou shalt lie with no manner of beast to defile thyself
therewith, neither shall any woman stond before a beast to lie down
thereto, for that is abomination. Defile not your selves in any of
these things, for with all these things are these nations defiled which
I cast out before you: and the land is defiled, and I will visit the
wickedness thereof upon it. And the land shall spew out her inhabiters.
