4 You|strong="H6213" must|strong="H0853" obey|strong="H6213" my|strong="H8104" rules|strong="H2708" and|strong="H3068" follow|strong="H3068" my|strong="H8104" laws. Be|strong="H3068" sure to|strong="H3068" follow|strong="H3068" my|strong="H8104" rules|strong="H2708" because I|strong="H0589" am|strong="H0589" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430".
5 You|strong="H0834" must|strong="H0853" obey|strong="H6213" my|strong="H8104" rules|strong="H2708" and|strong="H3068" my|strong="H8104" laws, because|strong="H0834" whoever|strong="H0834" obeys|strong="H6213" them|strong="H0853" will|strong="H3068" live.

She|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" your|strong="H3808" mother|strong="H0517", so|strong="H3808" you|strong="H3808" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H0001" sexual relations with|strong="H0001" her|strong="H1540".

9 “You|strong="H3808" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H0001" sexual relations with|strong="H1004" your|strong="H3808" sister|strong="H0269".

11 “If|strong="H1931" your|strong="H3808" father|strong="H0001" and|strong="H0802" his|strong="H1540" wife|strong="H0802" have|strong="H0001" a|strong="H3808" daughter|strong="H1323", she|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" your|strong="H3808" sister|strong="H0269". You|strong="H3808" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H0001" sexual relations with|strong="H0802" her|strong="H1540".

She|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" your|strong="H3808" son’s|strong="H1121" wife|strong="H0802", so|strong="H3808" you|strong="H3808" must|strong="H1121" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H1121" sexual relations with|strong="H0802" her|strong="H1540".

That|strong="H1931" would be|strong="H3808" like|strong="H3808" having|strong="H3808" sexual relations with|strong="H0802" your|strong="H3808" brother|strong="H0251".
17 “You|strong="H3808" must|strong="H0853" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H1121" sexual|strong="H3947" relations with|strong="H0802" a|strong="H3947" mother and|strong="H1121" her|strong="H1540" daughter|strong="H1323" or|strong="H3808" her|strong="H1540" granddaughter|strong="H1323".

Her|strong="H1540" granddaughters are|strong="H1121" her|strong="H1540" close relatives|strong="H1121". It|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" wrong to|strong="H1121" do this|strong="H1931".
18 “While|strong="H5921" your|strong="H5921" wife|strong="H0802" is|strong="H0802" still living|strong="H2416", you|strong="H5921" must|strong="H3947" not|strong="H3808" take|strong="H3947" her|strong="H0413" sister|strong="H0269" as|strong="H0413" another|strong="H0269" wife|strong="H0802". This will|strong="H0802" make|strong="H1540" the|strong="H5921" sisters|strong="H0269" become enemies. You|strong="H5921" must|strong="H3947" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H3808" sexual|strong="H3947" relations|strong="H0413" with|strong="H0413" your|strong="H5921" wife’s|strong="H0802" sister|strong="H0269".

She|strong="H3808" is|strong="H0802" unclean|strong="H5079" during this time|strong="H5079".
20 “You|strong="H5414" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H3808" sexual relations|strong="H0413" with|strong="H0413" your|strong="H5414" neighbor’s|strong="H5997" wife|strong="H0802". This will|strong="H5414" only make|strong="H5414" you|strong="H5414" filthy.
21 “You|strong="H5414" must|strong="H0853" not|strong="H3808" give|strong="H5414" any|strong="H5414" of|strong="H0430" your|strong="H3068" children|strong="H2233" through|strong="H5674" the|strong="H0853" fire to|strong="H3068" Molech|strong="H4432". If you|strong="H5414" do|strong="H0589" this|strong="H3068", you|strong="H5414" will|strong="H3068" show|strong="H5414" that|strong="H3068" you|strong="H5414" don’t|strong="H3808" respect the|strong="H0853" name|strong="H8034" of|strong="H0430" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430".

That|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" a|strong="H3808" terrible sin!
23 “Men|strong="H3605", you|strong="H5414" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H3605" sexual relations with|strong="H0802" any|strong="H3605" animal|strong="H0929". This|strong="H1931" will|strong="H5414" make|strong="H5414" you|strong="H5414" filthy. And|strong="H0802" women|strong="H0802", you|strong="H5414" must|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" have|strong="H3605" sexual relations with|strong="H0802" any|strong="H3605" animal|strong="H0929". It|strong="H5414" is|strong="H1931" against|strong="H6440" nature!
24 “Don’t|strong="H0408" make|strong="H2930" yourself unclean|strong="H2930" by|strong="H3605" doing any|strong="H3605" of|strong="H6440" these|strong="H0428" wrong things|strong="H0428"! I|strong="H0589" am|strong="H0589" throwing nations|strong="H1471" off|strong="H7971" their|strong="H3605" land|strong="H6440" and|strong="H7971" giving it|strong="H3588" to|strong="H7971" you|strong="H0834" because|strong="H3588" they|strong="H0834" did|strong="H0834" those|strong="H0428" terrible sins.
25 They|strong="H5921" made|strong="H6485" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776" filthy. Now the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776" is|strong="H0776" sick of|strong="H0776" those|strong="H5921" things, and|strong="H0776" it|strong="H5921" will|strong="H0776" vomit|strong="H6958" out|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3427" who|strong="H3427" live|strong="H3427" there|strong="H3427".
26 “So|strong="H6213" you|strong="H0859" must|strong="H0853" obey|strong="H6213" my|strong="H3605" laws and|strong="H4941" rules|strong="H2708". You|strong="H0859" must|strong="H0853" not|strong="H3808" do|strong="H6213" any|strong="H3605" of|strong="H3605" these|strong="H0428" terrible sins. These|strong="H0428" rules|strong="H2708" are|strong="H0428" for|strong="H4941" the|strong="H3605" citizens of|strong="H3605" Israel|strong="H8104" and|strong="H4941" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H3808" living|strong="H1481" among|strong="H8432" you|strong="H0859".
27 Those|strong="H3605" who|strong="H0834" lived in|strong="H0776" the|strong="H3605" land|strong="H0776" before|strong="H6440" you|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" done|strong="H6213" all|strong="H3605" these|strong="H0411" terrible things|strong="H3605". So|strong="H6213" the|strong="H3605" land|strong="H0776" became|strong="H2930" filthy.
28 If|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0834" do these|strong="H0834" things|strong="H0834", you|strong="H0834" will|strong="H0776" make|strong="H2930" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776" filthy. And|strong="H0776" it|strong="H2930" will|strong="H0776" vomit|strong="H6958" you|strong="H0834" out|strong="H6440" as|strong="H0834" it|strong="H2930" vomited out|strong="H6440" the|strong="H0853" nations|strong="H1471" that|strong="H0834" were|strong="H0834" there|strong="H0834" before|strong="H6440" you|strong="H0834".
29 Whoever|strong="H3605" does|strong="H6213" any|strong="H3605" of|strong="H3605" these|strong="H0428" terrible sins must be|strong="H5315" separated from|strong="H3772" their|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971"!
30 Other|strong="H1115" people|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" done|strong="H6213" these|strong="H0834" terrible sins, but|strong="H3808" you|strong="H0834" must|strong="H0853" obey|strong="H6213" my|strong="H8104" laws. You|strong="H0834" must|strong="H0853" not|strong="H3808" do|strong="H6213" any|strong="H6440" of|strong="H0430" these|strong="H0834" terrible sins. Do|strong="H6213" not|strong="H3808" make|strong="H6213" yourself filthy with|strong="H3068" these|strong="H0834" terrible sins. I|strong="H0589" am|strong="H0589" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430".”
