불법적인 성관계를 금함
18 여호와께서 모세를 통하여 이스라엘 백성에게 말씀하셨다. “나는 여
2 호와 너희 하나님이다.
3 너희는 오랫동안 살았던 이집트 땅의 풍습을 좇지 말고 내가 너희를 인도할 가나안 땅의 풍습도 좇지 말아라.
4 너희는 내 법에 순종하고 내가 명령한 것을 그대로 준수하라. 나는 너희 하나님 여호와이다.
5 그러므로 너희는 나의 법과 규정을 지켜야 한다. 사람이 이것을 행하면 살 것이다. 나는 여호와이다.
6 “너희는 가까운 친척과 성관계를 하지 말아라. 나는 여호와이다.
7 너희 자녀들은 부모에게 절대로 부끄러운 짓을 해서는 안 된다.
8 또 너희는 아버지의 첩에게 부끄러운 짓을 하지 말아라.
9 너희는 친자매이든 의붓자매이든, 그들이 너희와 한집에서 태어났든지 다른 곳에서 태어났든지 일체 그들과 성관계를 해서는 안 된다.
10 너희는 친손녀나 외손녀를 욕보이지 말아라. 그들은 가까운 친척이다.
11 너희는 의붓누이와 성관계를 하지 말아라. 그녀도 역시 너희 자매이다.
12 너희는 너희 고모에게 부끄러운 짓을 하지 말아라. 그녀는 너희 아버지와 가까운 친척이다.
13 너희는 너희 이모에게 부끄러운 짓을 하지 말아라. 그녀는 너희 어머니와 가까운 친척이다.
14 너희는 너희 아버지 형제의 아내를 가까이하여 부끄러운 짓을 하지 말아라. 그들은 너희 백모와 숙모이다.
15 너희는 너희 며느리를 욕보이지 말아라. 그녀는 너희 아들의 아내이다.
16 너희는 너희 형제의 아내와 성관계를 하지 말아라. 그들은 너희 형수와 제수이다.
17 너희는 너희가 성관계를 가진 여인의 딸이나 손녀를 욕보이지 말아라. 그들은 피를 함께 나눈 자들이므로 이런 짓은 악한 행위이다.
18 너희는 아내가 살아 있는 동안 그녀의 자매를 또 다른 아내로 맞아 그들이 서로 시기하는 일이 없도록 하라.
19 “너희는 월경중에 있는 부정한 여자와 성관계를 하지 말아라.
20 또 너희는 남의 아내와 간통하여 너희 자신을 더럽히지 말아라.
21 “너희는 너희 자녀를 이방 신 몰렉에게 주어 불로 태우는 제물이 되게 함으로써 너희 하나님의 이름을 욕되게 하지 말아라. 나는 여호와이다.
22 너희는 절대로 동성 연애를 해서는 안 된다. 이것은 추잡한 짓이다.
23 남자이든 여자이든 누구든지 짐승과 음란한 짓을 하여 자신을 더럽히지 말아라. 이것은 무서운 죄이다.
24 “너희는 이런 추잡한 일로 자신을 더럽히지 말아라. 내가 너희 앞에서 쫓아낼 이방 민족들이 이런 죄로 더럽혀졌고
25 그들의 온 땅도 더럽혀졌으므로 내가 그 땅에 사는 사람들을 벌하여 [a]그 곳에서 쫓아낼 것이다.
26-27 그들은 이런 악한 짓을 하여 그 땅을 더럽혔으나 너희만은 그렇게 해서는 안 된다. 너희는 이스라엘 사람이건 너희 가운데 사는 외국인이건 모두 나 여호와의 법과 규정을 따르고 지켜야 한다.
28 너희가 만일 그 땅을 더럽히면 내가 쫓아낼 민족과 마찬가지로 너희도 그 땅에서 쫓아내겠다.
29 누구든지 이런 악한 일을 하나라도 범하는 자는 내 백성 가운데서 제거될 것이다.
30 그러므로 너희는 내 명령에 순종해야 하며 이런 악습을 따라서는 안 된다. 너희는 앞으로 들어가 살 그 땅의 백성들이 행하는 악한 풍습을 좇아 너희 자신을 더럽히지 말아라. 나는 너희 하나님 여호와이다.”

Unlawful Sexual Relations
18 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, (A)I am the Lord your God. 3 (B)You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and (C)you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes. 4 (D)You shall follow my rules[a] and keep my statutes and walk in them. (E)I am the Lord your God. 5 (F)You shall therefore keep my statutes and my rules; (G)if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the Lord.
6 “None of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord. 7 (H)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 (I)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness. 9 (J)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. 10 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son's daughter or of your daughter's daughter, for their nakedness is your own nakedness. 11 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, brought up in your father's family, since she is your sister. 12 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your father's relative. 13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's relative. 14 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother, that is, you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. 15 (K)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 (L)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; it is your brother's nakedness. 17 You 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. 18 And you shall not take a woman as a (M)rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness (N)while her sister is still alive.
19 (O)“You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness. 20 (P)And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor's wife and so make yourself unclean with her. 21 You shall not give any of your children to (Q)offer them[b] to (R)Molech, and so (S)profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 (T)You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 (U)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 (V)perversion.
24 (W)“Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, (X)for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, 25 and the (Y)land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land (Z)vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But (AA)you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the (AB)native or the stranger who sojourns among you 27 (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean), 28 lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. 29 For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 (AC)So keep my charge never to practice (AD)any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: (AE)I am the Lord your God.”

Laws of Sexual Morality
18 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: (A)‘I am the Lord your God. 3 (B)According to [a]the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and (C)according to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their [b]ordinances. 4 (D)You shall observe My judgments and keep My ordinances, to walk in them: I am the Lord your God. 5 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am the Lord.
6 ‘None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the Lord. 7 The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of your (E)father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness. 9 (F)The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover. 10 The nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for theirs is your own nakedness. 11 The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, begotten by your father—she is your sister—you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 (G)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is near of kin to your father. 13 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is near of kin to your mother. 14 (H)You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. 15 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law—she is your son’s wife—you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness. 17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her (I)daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness. 18 Nor shall you take a woman (J)as a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive.
19 ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as (K)long as she is in her (L)customary impurity. 20 (M)Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your (N)neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her. 21 And you shall not let any of your descendants (O)pass through (P)the fire to (Q)Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with (R)a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall you mate with any (S)animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.
24 (T)‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; (U)for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For (V)the land is defiled; therefore I (W)visit[c] the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land (X)vomits out its inhabitants. 26 (Y)You shall therefore [d]keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest (Z)the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be [e]cut off from among their people.
30 ‘Therefore you shall keep My [f]ordinance, so (AA)that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: (AB)I am the Lord your God.’ ”
