Leviticus 18
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I [am] Jehovah your God;
Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, I am the Lord your God.
3 according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.
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,
4 'My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I [am] Jehovah your God;
But do after my iudgements, and keepe mine ordinances, to walke therein: I am the Lord your God.
5 and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah.
Ye shall keepe therefore my statutes, and my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall then liue in them: I am the Lord.

24 'Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;
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:
25 and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants:
And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her inhabitants.
26 and ye — ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,
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.
27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done who [are] before you, and the land is defiled),
(For all these abominations haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:
28 and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which [is] before you;
And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)
29 for any one who doth [any] of all these abominations — even the persons who are doing [so], have been cut off from the midst of their people;
For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee cut off from among their people.
30 and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah your God.'
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.
