== Vayikra (Book of Leviticus), Chapter 18 ==
<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:
<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: I am HaShem your G-d.
<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> Mine ordinances shall ye do, and My statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am HaShem your G-d.
<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them: I am HaShem.
<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness. I am HaShem.
<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> The nakedness of thy father, and the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover; for theirs is thine own nakedness.
<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
<named id="12"/><sup>12</sup> Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
<named id="13"/><sup>13</sup> Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
<named id="14"/><sup>14</sup> Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy fathers brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
<named id="15"/><sup>15</sup> Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she is thy son' wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
<named id="16"/><sup>16</sup> Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
<named id="17"/><sup>17</sup> Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are near kinswomen; it is lewdness.
<named id="18"/><sup>18</sup> And thou shalt not take a woman to her sister, to be a rival to her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her lifetime.
<named id="19"/><sup>19</sup> And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
<named id="20"/><sup>20</sup> And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
<named id="21"/><sup>21</sup> And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to set them apart to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy G-d: I am HaShem.
<named id="22"/><sup>22</sup> Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination.
<named id="23"/><sup>23</sup> And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto; it is perversion.
<named id="24"/><sup>24</sup> Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out from before you.
<named id="25"/><sup>25</sup> And the land was defiled, therefore I did visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
<named id="26"/><sup>26</sup> Ye therefore shall keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you--
<named id="27"/><sup>27</sup> for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled--
<named id="28"/><sup>28</sup> that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
<named id="29"/><sup>29</sup> For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
<named id="30"/><sup>30</sup> Therefore shall ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am HaShem your G-d.
