Dual Panel1THE LORD told Moses
2to say to the Israelites: I am the LORD your God.
3You must not do as they do in Egypt where once you dwelt, nor may you do as they do in Canaan to which I am bringing you; you must not conform to their customs.
4You must keep my laws and conform faithfully to my statutes: I am the LORD your God.
5Observe my statutes and my laws: whoever keeps them will have life through them. I am the LORD.
6No man may approach a blood relation for intercourse. I am the LORD.
7You must not bring shame on your father by intercourse with your mother: she is your mother; do not bring shame on her.
8You must not have intercourse with a wife of your father: that is to bring shame upon your father.
9You must not have intercourse with your sister, either your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether brought up in the family or in another home; you must not bring shame on them.
10You must not have intercourse with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter: that is to bring shame on yourself.
11You must not have intercourse with a daughter of a wife of your father, begotten by your father, because she is your sister; do not bring shame on her.
12You must not have intercourse with your father's sister; she is a blood relation of your father.
13You must not have intercourse with your mother's sister: she is a blood relation of your mother.
14You must not bring shame on your father's brother by approaching his wife, because she is your aunt.
15You must not have intercourse with your daughter-in-law, because she is your son's wife; you must not bring shame on her.
16You must not have intercourse with your brother's wife: that is to bring shame on him.
17You must not have intercourse with both a woman and her daughter, nor may you take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to have intercourse with them: they are blood relations, and such conduct is lewdness.
18You must not take a woman who is your wife's sister to make her a rival wife, and to have intercourse with her during her sister's lifetime.
19You must not approach a woman to have intercourse with her during her period of menstruation.
20Do not have sexual intercourse with the wife of your fellow-countryman and so make yourself unclean with her.
21You must not surrender any of your children to Molech and thus profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
22You must not lie with a man as with a woman: that is an abomination.
23You must not have sexual intercourse with any animal to make yourself unclean with it, nor may a woman submit herself to intercourse with an animal: that is a violation of nature.
24You must not make yourselves unclean in any of those ways; for in such ways the nations, whom I am driving out before you, made themselves unclean.
25That is how the land became unclean, and I punished it for its iniquity so that it spewed out its inhabitants.
26You, unlike them, must observe my statutes and my laws: none of you, whether natives or aliens settled among you, may do any of those abominable things.
27The people who were there before you did those abominable things and the land became unclean.
28So do not let the land spew you out for making it unclean as it spewed them out;
29for anyone who does any of those abominable things will be cut off from his people.
30Observe my charge, therefore, and follow none of the abominable institutions customary before your time; do not make yourselves unclean with them. I am the LORD your God.
