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
According to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
4
You shall observe My judgments and keep My ordinances, to walk in them: I am the Lord your God.
5
You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am the Lord.
6
'None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the Lord.
7
The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8
The nakedness of your father's wife you shall not uncover; it is your father's nakedness.
9
The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover.
