Chapter 18
Levi Rotherha 18:2  Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them,—I—Yahweh, am your God:—
Levi Rotherha 18:3  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, am bringing you in, shall ye not do, And, in their statutes, shall ye not walk:
Levi Rotherha 18:4  My regulations, shall ye do, And, my statutes, shall ye observe to walk therein,—I—Yahweh, am your God.
Levi Rotherha 18:5  Therefore shall ye observe my statutes, and my regulations, Which if the son of earth shall do them, Then shall he live in them,—I, am Yahweh.
Levi Rotherha 18:6  No person whatsoever, unto any of the near kin of his own flesh, shall approach to uncover the parts of shame,—I, am Yahweh.
Levi Rotherha 18:7  The shame of thy father, even the shame of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover,—thy mother, she is, thou shalt not uncover her shame.
Levi Rotherha 18:8  The shame of thy father’s wife, shalt thou not uncover,—thy father’s shame, it is.
Levi Rotherha 18:9  The shame of thy sister daughter of thy father or daughter of thy mother, born at home or born abroad, thou shalt not uncover their shame.

Levi Rotherha 18:11  The shame of the daughter of thy father’s wife, born to thy father, she being, thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her shame.
Levi Rotherha 18:12  The shame of thy father’s sister, shalt thou not uncover,—thy father’s near of kin, she is.
Levi Rotherha 18:13  The shame of thy mother’s sister, shalt thou not uncover,—for, thy mother’s near of kin, she is.
Levi Rotherha 18:14  The shame of thy father’s brother, shalt thou not uncover unto his wife, shalt thou not approach, thine aunt, she is.

Levi Rotherha 18:16  The shame of thy brother’s wife, shalt thou not uncover,—the shame of thy brother, it is.
Levi Rotherha 18:17  The shame of a woman, and of her daughter, shalt thou not uncover,—neither the daughter of her son nor the daughter of her daughter, shalt thou take, to uncover her shame, near of kin, they are, wickedness, it is.
Levi Rotherha 18:18  And, a woman unto her sister, shalt thou not take,—to cause rivalry, by uncovering her shame besides her own while she is living.

Levi Rotherha 18:20  And of the wife of thy neighbour, shalt thou not have carnal knowledge,—to commit uncleanness with her.
Levi Rotherha 18:21  And none of thy seed, shalt thou deliver up, to cause to pass through to Molech,—that thou profane not the name of thy God, I, am Yahweh.
Levi Rotherha 18:22  And, with mankind, shalt thou not lie as with womankind,—an abomination, it is.
Levi Rotherha 18:23  And of no beast, shalt thou have carnal knowledge to commit uncleanness therewith,—neither shall a woman present herself to a beast to couch down thereto,—confusion, it is.
Levi Rotherha 18:24  Do not make yourselves unclean in any of these things,—For in all these things, have the nations made themselves unclean, whom, I, am sending out from before you.
Levi Rotherha 18:25  Therefore hath the land become unclean, and I have visited the iniquity thereof upon it,—and the land hath vomited her inhabitants.
Levi Rotherha 18:26  Ye, therefore, shall observe my statutes and my regulations, and have nothing to do with any of these abominations,—whether the home-born, or the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst;
Levi Rotherha 18:27  For all these abominations, have the men of the land done, who were before you; And so the land hath become unclean:
Levi Rotherha 18:28  So shall the land not vomit you, through your making it unclean,—as it vomited the nation which was before you.
Levi Rotherha 18:29  For whosoever shall have anything to do with any of these abominations, the persons who have, shall be cut off, out of the midst of their people.
Levi Rotherha 18:30  Therefore shall ye keep my charge, So that ye may have nothing to do with any of the abominable statutes with which they have had to do before you, So shall ye not make yourselves unclean thereby,—I—Yahweh, am your God.
