And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.

3 After 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,

After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein all of you dwelt, shall all of you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall all of you not do: neither shall all of you walk in their ordinances.

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

All of you shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.

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

All of you shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.

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

None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.

7 Thou 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.

The nakedness of your father, or the nakedness of your mother, shall you not uncover: she is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.

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

The nakedness of your father's wife shall you not uncover: it is your father's nakedness.

The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or daughter of your mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness you shall not uncover.

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

The nakedness of your son's daughter, or of your daughter's daughter, even their nakedness you shall not uncover: for theirs is your own nakedness.

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

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, you shall not approach to his wife: she is your aunt.

You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shall you take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

18 Also thou shalt not take a wife with her sister, during her life, to vexe her, in vncouering her shame vpon her.

Neither shall you take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.

19 Thou shalt not also go vnto a woman to vncouer her shame, as long as she is put apart for her disease.

Also you shall not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

20 Moreouer, thou shalt not giue thy selfe to thy neighbours wife by carnall copulation, to be defiled with her.

Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbour's wife, to defile yourself with her.

21 Also thou shalt not giue thy children to offer them vnto Molech, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: for I am the Lord.

And you shall not let any of your seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.

22 Thou shalt not lie with ye male as one lieth with a woman: for it is abomination.

You shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

23 Thou shalt not also lie with any beast to bee defiled therewith, neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie downe thereto: for it is abomination.

Neither shall you lie with any beast to defile yourself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

24 Yee shall not defile your selues in any of these things: for in al these the nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you:

Defile not all of you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

25 And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her inhabitants.

And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants.

26 Ye shall keepe therefore mine ordinances, and my iudgements, and commit none of these abominations, aswell hee that is of the same countrey, as the straunger that soiourneth among you.

All of you shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourns among you:

27 (For all these abominations haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:

(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled; )

28 And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)

That the land spew not you out also, when all of you defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.

29 For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee cut off from among their people.

For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

30 Therefore shall yee keepe mine ordinances that ye do not any of the abominable customes, which haue bene done before you, and that yee defile not your selues therein: for I am the Lord your God.

Therefore shall all of you keep mine ordinance, that all of you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that all of you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
