Leviticus 18:6-23

Modern English Version

⁶ None of you shall approach any of his near relatives to have relations: I am the Lord.

⁷ You shall not have relations with your father or have relations with your mother. She is your mother. You shall not have relations with her.

⁸ You shall not have relations with your father’s wife, for this exposes your father’s nakedness.

⁹ You shall not have relations with your sister, whether your father’s or mother’s daughter, whether raised in the family or another home.

¹⁰ You shall not have relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, for this exposes your own nakedness.

¹¹ You shall not have relations with your father’s wife’s daughter who is raised in your father’s family, for she is your sister.

¹² You shall not have relations with your father’s sister, for she is your father’s relative.

¹³ You shall not have relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s relative.

¹⁴ You shall not expose the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife for relations; she is your aunt.

¹⁵ You shall not have relations with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son’s wife—you shall not have relations with her.

¹⁶ You shall not have relations with your brother’s wife, for this exposes your brother’s nakedness.

¹⁷ You shall not have relations with a woman and her daughter, nor shall you have her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, for this exposes the woman’s nakedness. They are all near relatives. It is depravity.

¹⁸ And you shall not have a woman as a rival wife, who is the sister of your other wife, for this is to expose her nakedness while her sister, your other wife, is still alive.

¹⁹ Also you shall not approach a woman to have relations as long as she is in her menstrual uncleanness.

²⁰ Moreover, you shall not have relations with your neighbor’s wife to defile yourself with her.

²¹ You shall not let any of your children be offered through the fire to Molek, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

²² You shall not lie with a man as one does with a woman. It is an abomination.

²³ You shall not lie with an animal to defile yourself, nor shall any woman lie with an animal. It is a perversion.
