< Leviticus 18 >
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
上主訓示梅瑟說:」
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: I am the LORD your God.
你告訴以色列子民說:我是上主你們的天主。
3 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.
