And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos ego Dominus Deus vester
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God.
3 iuxta consuetudinem terrae Aegypti in qua habitastis non facietis et iuxta morem regionis Chanaan ad quam ego introducturus sum vos non agetis nec in legitimis eorum ambulabitis
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 customs.

Mine ordinances shall ye do and my statutes shall ye observe to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God.

The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; thou shalt not take her son's daughter, nor her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness: they are her near relations: it is wickedness.

23 cum omni pecore non coibis nec maculaberis cum eo mulier non subcumbet iumento nec miscebitur ei quia scelus est

But ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth among you;
27 omnes enim execrationes istas fecerunt accolae terrae qui fuerunt ante vos et polluerunt eam
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);
28 cavete ergo ne et vos similiter evomat cum paria feceritis sicut evomuit gentem quae fuit ante vos
