Leviticus, Chapter 18

18:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, I am Yahweh your+ God.
18:3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, in which you+ dwelt, you+ will not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you+, you+ will not do; neither will you+ walk in their statutes.
18:4 My ordinances you+ will do, and my statutes you+ will keep, to walk in them: I am Yahweh your+ God.
18:5 You+ will therefore keep my statutes, and my ordinances; which if man does, he will live in them: I am Yahweh.
18:6 Any man will not have any sex with anyone who is near of kin to him: I am Yahweh.
18:7 The nakedness of your father, even the nakedness of your mother, you will not uncover. She is your mother, you will not have any sex with her.
18:8 You will not have any sex with your father's wife, it is your father's nakedness.
18:9 With your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, you will not have any sex with them.
18:10 You will not have any sex with your son's daughter, or with your daughter's daughter: for theirs is your own nakedness.
18:11 You will not have any sex with your father's wife's daughter, begotten of your father, she is your sister.
18:12 You will not have any sex with your father's sister: she is your father's near kinswoman.
18:13 You will not have any sex with your mother's sister: for she is your mother's near kinswoman.
18:14 You will not have any sex with your father's brother, you will not have any sex with his wife: she is your aunt.
18:15 You will not have any sex with your daughter-in-law: she is your son's wife. You will not have any sex with her.
18:16 You will not have any sex with your brother's wife.
18:17 You will not have any sex with a woman and her daughter; you will not have any sex with her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter; they are her flesh: it is wickedness.
18:18 And you will not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival [to her], to have any sex with her, besides the other in her lifetime.
18:19 And you will not have sex with a woman, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
18:20 And you will not have any sex with your associate's wife, to defile yourself with her.
18:21 And you will not give any of your seed to make them pass through [the fire] to Molech; neither will you profane the name of your God: I am Yahweh.
18:22 You will not have any sex with a man: it is disgusting.
18:23 And you will not have any sex with any animal and defile yourself with it; neither will any woman have any sex with an animal: it is perverted.
18:24 Don't defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations have been defiled which I am casting out from before you+;
18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I visit its iniquity on it, and the land vomits out her inhabitants.
18:26 You+ therefore will keep my statutes and my ordinances, and will not do any of these disgusting things; neither the home-born, nor the stranger who sojourns among you+;
18:27 for the men who were before you+ in the land have done all these disgusting things, and the land is defiled;
18:28 that the land does not vomit you+ out also, when you+ defile it, as it is vomiting out the nation that was before you+.
18:29 For whoever will do any of these disgusting things, even the souls who do them will be cut off from among their people.
18:30 Therefore you+ will keep my charge, that you+ don't do any of these disgusting customs, which were done before you+, and that you+ don't defile yourselves in them: I am Yahweh your+ God.
