Leviticus 18

¹And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

²Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord your God.

³After ye doings of the land of Egypt, wherin ye dwelt, shall ye not doe: and after the maner of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, shall ye not do, neither walke in their ordinances,

⁴But do after my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.

⁵Ye shall keepe therefore my statutes, and my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall then liue in them: I am the Lord.

⁶None shall come neere to any of ye kinred of his flesh to vncouer her shame: I am the Lord.

⁷Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy father, nor the shame of thy mother: for she is thy mother, thou shalt not discouer her shame.

⁸The shame of thy fathers wife shalt thou not discouer: for it is thy fathers shame.

⁹Thou shalt not discouer the shame of thy sister the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether shee bee borne at home, or borne without: thou shalt not discouer their shame.

¹⁰The shame of thy sonnes daughter, or of thy daughters daughter, thou shalt not, I say, vncouer their shame: for it is thy shame.

¹¹The shame of thy fathers wiues daughter, begotten of thy father (for she is thy sister) thou shalt not, I say, discouer her shame.

¹²Thou shalt not vncouer the shame of thy fathers sister: for she is thy fathers kinswoman.
