وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

«خاطِبْ بَني إِسْرائيلَ وقُلْ لَهم: أَنا الرَّبُّ إِلٰهُكم

كَصَنيعِ أَرضِ مِصرَ الَّتي أَقَمتُم فيها لا تَصْنَعوا، وكَصَنيعِ أَرضِ كَنْعانَ الَّتي أَنا مُدخِلُكم إِلَيها لا تَصنَعوا، وعلى فَرائِضِهم لا تسيروا

إِعمَلوا بِأَحْكامي وٱحفَظوا فرائضي وسيروا علَيها. أَنا الرَّبُّ إِلٰهُكم

فٱحفَظوا فَرائِضي وأَحْكامي. فمَن حَفِظَها يَحْيا بِها: أَنا الرَّبّ

لا يَقتِرِبْ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِن ذاتِ قَرابَتِه لِكَشْفِ عَورَتِها: أَنا الرَّبّ

عَورَةَ أَبيكَ وعَورَةَ أُمِّكَ لا تَكشِفْ. إِنَّها أُمُّكَ، فلا تَكْشِفْ عَورَتَها

وعَورَةَ زَوجَةِ أَبيكَ لا تَكشِفْ، فإِنَّها عَورَةُ أَبيك

وعَورَةَ أُختِكَ، اِبنَةَ أَبيكَ كانَت أَو ٱبنَةَ أُمِّكَ، مَولودةً في البَيتِ كانت أَو في خارِجِه، لا تَكشِفْ

وعَورَةَ بِنْتِ ٱبنِكَ أَو بِنْتِ ٱبنَتِكَ لا تَكْشِفْ، فإِنَّها عَورَتُك

وعَورةَ بِنْتِ زَوجَةِ أَبيكَ المَولودةِ مِن أَبيكَ لا تَكشِفْ، إِنَّها أُختُكَ، فلا تَكشِفْ عَورَتَها

وعَورَةَ أُختِ أَبيكَ لا تَكشِفْ، فإِنَّها ذاتُ قَرابةٍ لأَبيكَ

وعَورَةَ أُختِ أُمِّكَ لا تَكْشِفْ، فإِنَّها ذاتُ قرابةٍ لأُمِّكَ

وعَورَةَ عَمِّكَ لا تَكشِفْ وإِلى ٱمرَأَتِه لا تَقتَرِبْ، فإِنَّها عَمَّتُكَ

وعَورَةَ كَنَّتِكَ لا تَكشِفْ، إِنَّها زَوجَةُ ٱبنِكَ فلا تَكشِفْ عَورَتها

وعَورَةَ زَوجَةِ أَخيكَ لا تَكشِفْ، فإِنَّها عَورَةُ أَخيكَ

وعَورَةَ ٱمرَأَةِ أَبيكَ وٱبنَتِها لا تَكشِفْ، ولا تَتَّخِذ ٱبنَةَ ٱبنِها ولا ٱبنَةَ ٱبنَتِها لِتَكشِفَ عَورَتَها، فَهُنَّ ذَواتُ قَرابَتِكَ: إِنَّها فاحِشة

وٱمرأَةً مع أُخْتِها لا تَتَّخِذْ لِتَكونَ ضَرَّتَها فتَكشِفَ عَورَتَها مَعَها وهي حَيَّة

وإِلى ٱمرَأَةٍ في نَجاسةِ طَمْثِها لا تَقْتَرِبْ لِكَشْفِ عَورَتِها

ومع زَوجَةِ قَريبِكَ لا يَكُنْ لَكَ علاقاتٌ جِنْسِيَّة ولا تَتَنَجَّسْ بِها

لا تُعْطِ مِن نَسلِكَ مُحرَقةً لِمولَك، ولا تُدَنِّسِ ٱسمَ إِلٰهِكَ: أَنا الرَّبّ

والذَّكَرُ لا تُضاجِعْه مُضاجَعَةَ النِّساء: إِنَّها قَبيحة

ومع أَيَّةِ بَهيمةٍ لا يَكُنْ لَكَ عَلاقاتٌ جِنسِيَّة، ولا تَتَنَجَّسْ بِها. ولا تَقِفِ ٱمرأَةٌ أَمامَ بَهيمةٍ لِتَسفِدَها: إِنَّها فاحِشة

لا تَتَنَجَّسوا بِشَيءٍ مِن هٰذه، فإِنَّه بِمِثْلِها تَنَجَّسَتِ الأُمَمُ الَّتي أَنا طارِدُها مِن أَمامِكم

تَنَجَّسَتِ الأَرضُ فٱفتَقَدتُ إِثْمَها وتَقَيَّأتِ الأَرضُ سُكَّانَها

فٱحفَظوا أُنتُم فرائِضي وأَحْكامي، ولا تَصْنَعوا شَيئًا مِن هٰذه القَبائِح، لا ٱبنُ البَلَدِ ولا النَّزيلُ المُقيمُ في وَسْطِكم

فإِنَّ جَميعَ هٰذِه القبائحِ صَنَعَها أَهْلُ الأَرضِ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم، فتَنَجَّسَتِ الأَرض

لٰكِنَّ الأَرضَ لا تَتَقَيَّأُكُم إِذا نَجَّستُموها، كَما تَقَيَّأَتِ الأُمَمَ الَّتي مِن قَبلِكم

لأَنَّ مَنِ ٱرتَكَبَ شَيئًا مِن هٰذه القَبائِح، تُفصَلُ تلكَ النُّفوسُ المُرتَكِبَةُ مِن وَسْطِ شَعْبِها

فٱحفَظوا أَحْكامي لِئَلَّا تَصنَعوا شَيئًا مِنَ المُمارساتِ القَبيحةِ الَّتي صُنِعَت مِن قَبلِكم، ولا تَتَنَجَّسوا بها: أَنا الرَّبُّ إِلٰهُكم»

The LORD said to Moses,

“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.

You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived. You shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. You shall not follow their statutes.

You shall do my ordinances. You shall keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God.

You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am the LORD.

“‘None of you shall approach any close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife. It is your father’s nakedness.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness; for theirs is your own nakedness.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister. She is your father’s near kinswoman.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.

“‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.

“‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

“‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.

“‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

“‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.

“‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.

“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you

(for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),

that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

“‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.’”
