1 Disse mais o Senhor a Moisés: 2 Fala aos filhos de Israel e dize-lhes: Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus. 3 Não fareis segundo as obras da terra do Egito, em que habitastes, nem fareis segundo as obras da terra de Canaã, para a qual eu vos levo, nem andareis nos seus estatutos. 4 Fareis segundo os meus juízos e os meus estatutos guardareis, para andardes neles. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus. 5 Portanto, os meus estatutos e os meus juízos guardareis; cumprindo-os, o homem viverá por eles. Eu sou o Senhor.

6 Nenhum homem se chegará a qualquer parenta da sua carne, para lhe descobrir a nudez. Eu sou o Senhor. 7 Não descobrirás a nudez de teu pai e de tua mãe; ela é tua mãe; não lhe descobrirás a nudez. 8 Não descobrirás a nudez da mulher de teu pai; é nudez de teu pai. 9 A nudez da tua irmã, filha de teu pai ou filha de tua mãe, nascida em casa ou fora de casa, a sua nudez não descobrirás. 10 A nudez da filha do teu filho ou da filha de tua filha, a sua nudez não descobrirás, porque é tua nudez. 11 Não descobrirás a nudez da filha da mulher de teu pai, gerada de teu pai; ela é tua irmã. 12 A nudez da irmã do teu pai não descobrirás; ela é parenta de teu pai. 13 A nudez da irmã de tua mãe não descobrirás; pois ela é parenta de tua mãe. 14 A nudez do irmão de teu pai não descobrirás; não te chegarás à sua mulher; ela é tua tia. 15 A nudez de tua nora não descobrirás; ela é mulher de teu filho; não lhe descobrirás a nudez. 16 A nudez da mulher de teu irmão não descobrirás; é a nudez de teu irmão. 17 A nudez de uma mulher e de sua filha não descobrirás; não tomarás a filha de seu filho, nem a filha de sua filha, para lhe descobrir a nudez; parentes são; maldade é. 18 E não tomarás com tua mulher outra, de sorte que lhe seja rival, descobrindo a sua nudez com ela durante sua vida.

19 Não te chegarás à mulher, para lhe descobrir a nudez, durante a sua menstruação. 20 Nem te deitarás com a mulher de teu próximo, para te contaminares com ela. 21 E da tua descendência não darás nenhum para dedicar-se a Moloque, nem profanarás o nome de teu Deus. Eu sou o Senhor. 22 Com homem não te deitarás, como se fosse mulher; é abominação. 23 Nem te deitarás com animal, para te contaminares com ele, nem a mulher se porá perante um animal, para ajuntar-se com ele; é confusão.

24 Com nenhuma destas coisas vos contaminareis, porque com todas estas coisas se contaminaram as nações que eu lanço de diante de vós. 25 E a terra se contaminou; e eu visitei nela a sua iniquidade, e ela vomitou os seus moradores. 26 Porém vós guardareis os meus estatutos e os meus juízos, e nenhuma destas abominações fareis, nem o natural, nem o estrangeiro que peregrina entre vós; 27 porque todas estas abominações fizeram os homens desta terra que nela estavam antes de vós; e a terra se contaminou. 28 Não suceda que a terra vos vomite, havendo-a vós contaminado, como vomitou o povo que nela estava antes de vós. 29 Todo que fizer alguma destas abominações, sim, aqueles que as cometerem serão eliminados do seu povo. 30 Portanto, guardareis a obrigação que tendes para comigo, não praticando nenhum dos costumes abomináveis que se praticaram antes de vós, e não vos contaminareis com eles. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah 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 statutes. 4 Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God. 5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah.

6 None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah. 7 The nakedness of thy father, even 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 the daughter of thy mother, whether 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; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18 And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival to her, to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her life-time.

19 And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness. 20 And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor’s wife, to defile thyself with her. 21 And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to make them pass through the fire to Molech; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah. 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 And thou shalt not 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 from before you; 25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26 Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you 27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled); 28 that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. 29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God.

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'I am the LORD your God.

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.

4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God.

5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. 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 by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.

8 "'Do not have sexual relations with your father's wife; that would dishonor your father.

9 "'Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.

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; she is your father's close relative.

13 "'Do not have sexual relations with your mother's sister, 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.

15 "'Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife; do not have relations with her.

16 "'Do not have sexual relations with your brother's wife; that would dishonor your brother.

17 "'Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. 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 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 of her monthly period.

20 "'Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor's wife and defile yourself with her.

21 "'Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

22 "'Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

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.

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 became defiled.

25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.

26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. 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, it will vomit you out 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 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.'"
