Leviticus - ch 18 v 1 - 20
- And the Lord said to Moses,
- Say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord your God.
- You may not do those things which were done in the land of Egypt where you were living; and you may not do those things which are done in the land of Canaan where I am taking you, or be guided in your behaviour by their rules.
- But you are to be guided by my decisions and keep my rules, and be guided by them: I am the Lord your God.
- So keep my rules and my decisions, which, if a man does them, will be life to him: I am the Lord.
- You may not have sex connection with anyone who is a near relation: I am the Lord.
- You may not have sex relations with your father or your mother: she is your mother, you may not take her.
- And you may not have sex relations with your father's wife: she is your father's.
- You may not take your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, wherever her birth took place, among you or in another country.
- You may not have sex relations with your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, for they are part of yourself;
- Or your father's wife's daughter, the child of your father, for she is your sister.

- Or with your daughter-in-law, for she is your son's wife, and you may not take her.
- You may not have sex relations with your brother's wife, for she is your brother's.
- You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.
- And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.
- And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.
