18 Then Yahweh said to Moses, 2 “Make sure to speak to the people of Israel and remind them that I am Yahweh their God. 3 The people of Israel must not behave like the Egyptians, in whose land they used to live. Neither should they behave like the Canaanites, whose land I am giving to them so that they can live there. The people of Israel should not live in a way that emulates any of the practices that these people do. 4 Instead, the people of Israel should obey my laws and be very careful to do everything that I tell them. They should live this way, because I am Yahweh their God. 5 The people of Israel should live in such a way that they make a habit of obeying my laws and doing everything that I tell them. When people do this, they truly live. This is because, once again, I am Yahweh.
6 So, remember: no Israelite should approach any of his close relatives to have sexual relations with them and so shame them. I am Yahweh!
7 No one should have sexual relations with his mother and so shame her. She is his mother! He should absolutely not shame her or his father in this way.
8 Likewise, no one should have sexual relations with any of his father's other wives and so shame them. Not only would this shame them, it would also shame his father.
9 No one should have sexual relations with his sister and shame her, whether she is his father's or his mother's daughter or whether she was born in the same household or somewhere else.
10 No one should have sexual relations with his own grandchildren and shame them. In doing so, the person who does this would absolutely shame himself.
11 No one should have sexual relations with his half-sister and shame her. She is his sister!
12 No one should have sexual relations with his father's sister and shame her. She is his father's close relative!
13 Neither should anyone have sexual relations with his mother's sister and shame her. She is his mother's close relative!
14 No one should have sexual relations with his aunt and so shame her and your uncle. No one should approach his aunt to have sexual relations with her. She is his aunt!
15 No one should have sexual relations with his daughter-in-law and so shame her. She is his son's wife! He should absolutely not shame her in this way.
16 No one should have sexual relations with his sister-in-law and so shame her. The person who does this would shame both her and his brother.
17 No one should have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. This also means that no one should attempt to marry a woman's granddaughter so that he can have sexual relations with them. They are her close relatives! These kinds of behaviors are utterly depraved—they transgress the way Yahweh intended for family members to relate to one another and only brings shame to everyone involved.
18 No one should attempt to marry his wife's sister so that he can have sexual relations with her while his wife is still living. To do so would only make his sister-in-law a concubine and rival wife.
19 No one should approach a woman who is menstruating and so is impure in order to have sexual relations with her.
20 No man should have sexual relations and have a seminal emission with a fellow Israelite's wife. If he does this, he will become impure.
21 No one should sacrifice their children to the god Molech by burning them alive. Doing so would profane and dishonor my reputation as your God. Remember: I am Yahweh!
22 No man should have sexual relations with another man as he would have with a woman. This behavior is utterly abominable—it transgresses the way Yahweh intended for people to behave and only brings shame to everyone involved.
23 Likewise, no one should have sexual relations with any animal. This means that no woman should give herself to an animal to copulate with it. Doing so would make the person who does this impure. This behavior is utterly perverse—it transgresses the way Yahweh intended for people to behave and only brings shame to everyone involved.
24 The people of Israel must not make themselves impure by doing any of these things, because by doing these things, the people who currently live in the land of Canaan have made themselves impure. I am removing them from the land so that you can live there. 25 In fact, the people who currently live in the land of Canaan have even made the land itself impure. Because of this, I have brought against the land the punishment for the guilt that the land has acquired because of their wrongdoing. I am removing the people who did these things in the land as if the ground itself is throwing them up and rejecting them. 26 But my people, both the native-born Israelite and the immigrant who is living with the people of Israel, must all be careful to do everything that I have told them, including my laws and my customs. They should never do all of these abominable behaviors that the people who live in the land practice, 27 because the people who currently live in the land of Canaan have done all of these abominable behaviors. As a consequence, they have made the land itself impure. 28 Just as I am removing the people who currently live in the land as if the land itself is throwing them up and rejecting them, if the people of Israel do the same thing, I will also remove them in the same manner.
29 I will remove the people of Israel because I will make any person who does any of these abominable practices an outcast. I, Yahweh, will remove him from my people. 30 So, the people of Israel should be very careful to do everything that I have told them. If they are careful, they will not do the abominable practices that the people who currently live in the land do. The people of Israel will avoid making themselves impure. Remember: I am Yahweh your God!”
