18:2 Speak 1696 8761 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and say 559 8804 unto them, I am the LORD 3068 your God 430.

18:3 After the doings 4639 of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, wherein ye dwelt 3427 8804, shall ye not do 6213 8799: and after the doings 4639 of the land 776 of Canaan 3667, whither I bring 935 8688 you, shall ye not do 6213 8799: neither shall ye walk 3212 8799 in their ordinances 2708.

18:4 Ye shall do 6213 8799 my judgments 4941, and keep 8104 8799 mine ordinances 2708, to walk 3212 8800 therein: I [am] the LORD 3068 your God 430.

18:5 Ye shall therefore keep 8104 8804 my statutes 2708, and my judgments 4941: which 834 if a man 120 do 6213 8799, he shall live 2425 8804 in them: I [am] the LORD 3068.

18:6 None of you shall approach 7126 8799 to any 376 that is near 7607 of kin 1320 to him, to uncover 1540 8763 [their] nakedness 6172: I [am] the LORD 3068.(near…: Heb. remainder of his flesh)

18:14 Thou shalt not uncover 1540 8762 the nakedness 6172 of thy father's 1 brother 251, thou shalt not approach 7126 8799 to his wife 802: she [is] thine aunt 1733.

18:15 Thou shalt not uncover 1540 8762 the nakedness 6172 of thy daughter in law 3618: she [is] thy son's 1121 wife 802; thou shalt not uncover 1540 8762 her nakedness 6172.

18:21 And thou shalt not 5414 8799 let any of thy seed 2233 pass 5674 8687 through [the fire] to Molech 4432, neither shalt thou profane 2490 8762 the name 8034 of thy God 430: I [am] the LORD 3068.(Molech: Gr. Moloch)

18:22 Thou shalt not lie 7901 8799 with mankind 2145, as with 4904 womankind 802: it [is] abomination 8441.

18:23 Neither shalt thou 5414 8799 lie 7903 with any beast 929 to defile 2930 8800 thyself therewith: neither shall any woman 802 stand 5975 8799 before 6440 a beast 929 to lie down 7250 8800 thereto: it [is] confusion 8397.

18:24 Defile 2930 8691 not ye yourselves in any of these things 428: for in all these the nations 1471 are defiled 2930 8738 which I cast out 7971 8764 before 6440 you:

18:25 And the land 776 is defiled 2930 8799: therefore I do visit 6485 8799 the iniquity 5771 thereof upon it, and the land 776 itself vomiteth out 6958 8686 her inhabitants 3427 8802.

18:26 Ye shall therefore keep 8104 8804 my statutes 2708 and my judgments 4941, and shall not commit 6213 8799 [any] of these abominations 8441; [neither] any of your own nation 249, nor any stranger 1616 that sojourneth 1481 8802 among 8432 you:

18:27 (For all these 411 abominations 8441 have the men 582 of the land 776 done 6213 8804, which [were] before 6440 you, and the land 776 is defiled 2930 8799;)

18:28 That the land 776 spue not you out 6958 8686 also, when ye defile 2930 8763 it, as it spued out 6958 8804 the nations 1471 that [were] before 6440 you.

18:29 For whosoever shall commit 6213 8799 any of these abominations 8441, even the souls 5315 that commit 6213 8802 [them] shall be cut off 3772 8738 from among 7130 their people 5971.

18:30 Therefore shall ye keep 8104 8804 mine ordinance 4931, that [ye] commit 6213 8800 not [any one] of these abominable 8441 customs 2708, which were committed 6213 8738 before 6440 you, and that ye defile 2930 8691 not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD 3068 your God 430.
