Leviticus Chapter 18

א  וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר.    1 

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

ב  דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם:  אֲנִי, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.    2 

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them: 

I am the LORD your God.

ג  כְּמַעֲשֵׂה אֶרֶץ-מִצְרַיִם אֲשֶׁר יְשַׁבְתֶּם-בָּהּ, לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ; וּכְמַעֲשֵׂה אֶרֶץ-כְּנַעַן אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי מֵבִיא אֶתְכֶם שָׁמָּה, לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ, וּבְחֻקֹּתֵיהֶם, לֹא תֵלֵכוּ.    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 bring you, shall ye not do; 

neither shall ye walk in their statutes.

ד  אֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי תַּעֲשׂוּ וְאֶת-חֻקֹּתַי תִּשְׁמְרוּ, לָלֶכֶת בָּהֶם:  אֲנִי, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.    4 

Mine ordinances shall ye do, and My statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: 

I am the LORD your God.

ה  וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם אֶת-חֻקֹּתַי וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי, אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה אֹתָם הָאָדָם וָחַי בָּהֶם:  אֲנִי, יְהוָה.  {ס}    5 

Ye shall therefore keep My statutes, and Mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live by them: 

I am the LORD. {S}

ו  אִישׁ אִישׁ אֶל-כָּל-שְׁאֵר בְּשָׂרוֹ, לֹא תִקְרְבוּ לְגַלּוֹת עֶרְוָה:  אֲנִי, יְהוָה.  {ס}    6 

None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness. 

I am the LORD. {S}
