Leviticus 18:1-30 AMP

[1] Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [2] “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God. [3] You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, and you shall not do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes (practices, customs). [4] You are to follow My judgments (precepts, ordinances) and keep My statutes and live by them. I am the LORD your God. [5] So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which, if a person keeps them, he shall live; I am the LORD. [6] ‘No one shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness (have intimate relations). I am the LORD. [7] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness. [8] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness. [9] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, either the daughter of your father or of your mother, whether born at home or born elsewhere. [10] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter; their nakedness you shall not uncover, for they are your own nakedness [that is, your own descendants]. [11] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter; born to your father, she is your sister. [12] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is your father’s blood relative. [13] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s blood relative. [14] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother’s wife; you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. [15] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness. [16] You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness. [17] You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to uncover their nakedness (have intimate relations with them); they are [her] blood relatives; it is an outrageous offense. [18] You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her nakedness. [19] ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness during her menstrual impurity and ceremonial uncleanness. [20] You shall not have intimate relations with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her. [21] You shall not give any of your children to offer them [by fire as a sacrifice] to Molech [the god of the Ammonites], nor shall you profane the name of your God [by honoring idols as gods]. I am the LORD. [22] You shall not lie [intimately] with a male as one lies with a female; it is repulsive. [23] You shall not have intimate relations with any animal to be defiled with it; nor shall a woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion. [24] ‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled. [25] For the land has become defiled; therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. [26] But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments (precepts) and shall not commit any of these repulsive acts, neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives temporarily among you [27] (for all these repulsive acts have been done by the men who lived in the land before you, and the land has become defiled); [28] [do none of these things] so that the land will not vomit you out, should you defile it, as it has vomited out the nation which has been before you. [29] For whoever commits any of these repulsive acts, those persons who do so shall be cut off from among their people [excluding them from the atonement made for them]. [30] So keep My command: do not practice any of the repulsive customs which have been practiced before you, so as not to defile yourselves by them; I am the LORD your God.’”
