Leviticus 18:6-23

English Standard Version

⁶“None of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord. ⁷^(A)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. ⁸^(B)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness. ⁹^(C)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether brought up in the family or in another home. ¹⁰You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, for their nakedness is your own nakedness. ¹¹You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, brought up in your father's family, since she is your sister. ¹²You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your father's relative. ¹³You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's relative. ¹⁴You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, that is, you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. ¹⁵^(D)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. ¹⁶^(E)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; it is your brother's nakedness. ¹⁷You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, and you shall not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover her nakedness; they are relatives; it is depravity. ¹⁸And you shall not take a woman as a ^(F)rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness ^(G)while her sister is still alive.

¹⁹^(H)“You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness. ²⁰^(I)And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor's wife and so make yourself unclean with her. ²¹You shall not give any of your children to ^(J)offer them^[a] to ^(K)Molech, and so ^(L)profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. ²²^(M)You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. ²³^(N)And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is ^(O)perversion.
