Leviticus 18:1-5

New International Reader's Version

Do Not Commit Sexual Sins

18 The Lord spoke to Moses. He said, ² “Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘I am the Lord your God. ³ Do not do what the people of Egypt do. You used to live there. And do not do what the people of Canaan do. I am bringing you into their land. Do not follow their practices. ⁴ Obey my laws. Be careful to follow my rules. I am the Lord your God. ⁵ Keep my rules and laws. The one who obeys them will benefit from living by them. I am the Lord.
