020:017 "'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter,
or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she
sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall
be cut off in the sight of the children of their people:
he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
020:018 "'If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period,
and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain,
and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood:
and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
020:019 "'You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of
your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative:
they shall bear their iniquity.
020:020 If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered
his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin;
they shall die childless.
020:021 "'If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity:
he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
020:022 "'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances,
and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell,
may not vomit you out.
020:023 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am
casting out before you: for they did all these things,
and therefore I abhorred them.
020:024 But I have said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will
give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey."
I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
020:025 "'You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal
and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean:
and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal,
or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems,
which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
020:026 You shall be holy to me: for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set
you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
020:027 "'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard,
shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones;
their blood shall be upon them.'"
021:001 Yahweh said to Moses, "Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron,
and say to them, 'A priest shall not defile himself for the dead
among his people;
021:002 except for his relatives that are near to him: for his mother,
for his father, for his son, for his daughter, for his brother,
021:003 and for his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband;
for her he may defile himself.
021:004 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people,
to profane himself.
021:005 "'They shall not shave their heads, neither shall they shave
off the corners of their beards, nor make any cuttings
in their flesh.
