Leviticus 18:6

Verse 6 of 30. The 18th of 27 chapters in Leviticus, in The Law.

2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God.

3After 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 bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

4Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.

5Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the Lord.

6None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord.

7The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

8The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.

9The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

10The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
