18:15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she
is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
18:16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is
thy brother's nakedness.
18:17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter,
neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter,
to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is
wickedness.
18:18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to
uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
18:19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her
nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
18:20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to
defile thyself with her.
18:21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to
Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is
abomination.
18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith:
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is
confusion.
18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall
not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation,
nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were before you, and the land is defiled;)
18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it
spued out the nations that were before you.
18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the
souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
18:30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one
of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that
ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
19:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
19:2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say
unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
19:3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my
sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
19:4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am
the LORD your God.
19:5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye
shall offer it at your own will.
19:6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and
if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
19:7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it
shall not be accepted.
