Relaciones sexuales prohibidas
18 El Señor se dirigió a Moisés y le dijo:
2 «Di a los israelitas lo siguiente:
»Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
3 »No sigan las costumbres de Egipto, país en el cual vivieron.
»No sigan las costumbres de Canaán, país al cual voy a llevarlos, ni vivan conforme a sus leyes.
4 »Cumplan mis decretos; pongan en práctica mis leyes; vivan conforme a ellos. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.
5 »Pongan en práctica mis leyes y decretos. El hombre que los cumpla, vivirá. Yo soy el Señor.
6 »Ningún hombre debe acercarse a una mujer de su propia familia para tener relaciones sexuales con ella. Yo soy el Señor.
7 »No deshonres a tu padre teniendo relaciones sexuales con tu madre; además, ella es tu madre y no debes hacerlo.
8 »No deshonres a tu padre teniendo relaciones sexuales con su mujer.
9 »No tengas relaciones sexuales con tu hermana. Ya sea tu hermana por parte de padre o por parte de madre; ya sea que haya nacido en la casa o fuera de ella, no debes tener relaciones sexuales con ella.
10 »No te deshonres a ti mismo teniendo relaciones sexuales con tu nieta, sea por parte de tu hijo o de tu hija. No debes tener relaciones con ella.
11 »No tengas relaciones con la hija de la mujer de tu padre. Ha sido engendrada por tu padre, y es tu hermana. No debes tener relaciones con ella.
12 »No tengas relaciones sexuales con la hermana de tu padre; es de la misma sangre que tu padre.
13 »No tengas relaciones sexuales con la hermana de tu madre; es de la misma sangre que tu madre.
14 »No deshonres a tu tío teniendo relaciones sexuales con su mujer, pues es tu tía.
15 »No tengas relaciones sexuales con tu nuera, pues es la mujer de tu hijo; no debes tener relaciones sexuales con ella.
16 »No deshonres a tu hermano teniendo relaciones sexuales con su mujer.
17 »No tengas relaciones sexuales con una mujer y con la hija de esa mujer, ni tomes a su nieta, ya sea por parte de su hijo o de su hija, para tener también relaciones sexuales con ella. Esa es una conducta depravada, pues son de la misma sangre.
18 »No tomes como mujer a la hermana de tu esposa, ni tengas relaciones sexuales con ella mientras tu esposa viva, para no crear enemistad entre ellas.
19 »No tengas relaciones sexuales con una mujer en su período de menstruación.
20 »No te acuestes con la mujer de tu prójimo ni tengas relaciones sexuales con ella, para que no te hagas impuro por esa causa.
21 »No entregues a ninguno de tus hijos como ofrenda al dios Moloc. No ofendas así el nombre de tu Dios. Yo soy el Señor.
22 »No te acuestes con un hombre como si te acostaras con una mujer. Ése es un acto infame.
23 »No te entregues a actos sexuales con ningún animal, para que no te hagas impuro por esa causa. Tampoco la mujer debe entregarse a actos sexuales con un animal. Eso es una infamia.
24 »No se hagan impuros con ninguna de estas cosas. Con ellas se han hecho impuros los pueblos que yo voy a arrojar de la presencia de ustedes, 25 y también su país quedó impuro; pero yo les pedí cuentas de su maldad y el país arrojó de sí a sus habitantes. 26 Pero ustedes los israelitas, y los extranjeros que viven entre ustedes, pongan en práctica mis leyes y mis decretos, y no cometan ninguno de estos actos infames, 27 pues todas estas infamias las cometieron los que habitaron el país antes que ustedes, y la tierra quedó impura. 28 ¡Que no los arroje de sí el país por hacerlo impuro, tal como arrojó a la gente que lo habitó antes que ustedes! 29 El que cometa cualquiera de estas infamias, será eliminado de entre su pueblo. 30 Por lo tanto, pongan en práctica mi precepto y no caigan en las prácticas infames cometidas antes de ustedes, ni se hagan impuros con ellas. Yo soy el Señor su Dios.»

Unlawful Sexual Relations
18 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the Lord your God.(A) 3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.(B) 4 You must obey my laws(C) and be careful to follow my decrees.(D) I am the Lord your God.(E) 5 Keep my decrees and laws,(F) for the person who obeys them will live by them.(G) I am the Lord.
6 “‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the Lord.
7 “‘Do not dishonor your father(H) by having sexual relations with your mother.(I) She is your mother; do not have relations with her.
8 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife;(J) that would dishonor your father.(K)
9 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your sister,(L) either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.(M)
10 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter; that would dishonor you.
11 “‘Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
12 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s sister;(N) she is your father’s close relative.
13 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister,(O) because she is your mother’s close relative.
14 “‘Do not dishonor your father’s brother by approaching his wife to have sexual relations; she is your aunt.(P)
15 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law.(Q) She is your son’s wife; do not have relations with her.(R)
16 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife;(S) that would dishonor your brother.
17 “‘Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter.(T) Do not have sexual relations with either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter; they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.
18 “‘Do not take your wife’s sister(U) as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living.
19 “‘Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness(V) of her monthly period.(W)
20 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife(X) and defile yourself with her.
21 “‘Do not give any of your children(Y) to be sacrificed to Molek,(Z) for you must not profane the name of your God.(AA) I am the Lord.(AB)
22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman;(AC) that is detestable.(AD)
23 “‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.(AE)
24 “‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you(AF) became defiled.(AG) 25 Even the land was defiled;(AH) so I punished it for its sin,(AI) and the land vomited out its inhabitants.(AJ) 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws.(AK) The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land,(AL) it will vomit you out(AM) as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
29 “‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30 Keep my requirements(AN) and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.(AO)’”

King James Version
18 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God.
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 ordinances.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.
5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord.
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.
7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye 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 do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye 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 sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
29 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 ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God.
