¹² Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy father's sister, for she is thy father's next kin. ¹³ Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy mother's sister, for she is thy mother's next kinswoman. ¹⁴ Thou shalt not open the privities of thy father's brother; that is, thou shalt not go in to his wife, for she is thine aunt. ¹⁵ Thou shalt not uncover the privities of thy daughter-in-law, she is thy son's wife; therefore uncover not her privities. ¹⁶ Thou shalt not unhele the privity of thy brother's wife, for that is thy brother's privity. ¹⁷ Thou shalt not uncover the privities of the wife and her daughter also; neither shalt thou take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover their privities: they are her next kin, it were therefore wickedness. ¹⁸ Thou shalt not take a wife and her sister thereto, to vex her that thou wouldest open her privities as long as she liveth. ¹⁹ Thou shalt not go unto a woman to uncover her privity as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. ²⁰ "'Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her. ²¹ Thou shalt not give of thy seed to offer it unto Moloch, that thou defile not the name of thy God, for I am the LORD. ²² "'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, for that is abomination. ²³ Thou shalt lie with no manner of beast to defile thyself therewith, neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto, for that is abomination. ²⁴ Defile not yourselves in any of these things, for with all these things are these nations defiled which I cast out before you: ²⁵ and the land is defiled, and I will visit the wickedness thereof upon it. And the land shall spew out her inhabiters. ²⁶ Keep ye therefore mine ordinances and judgments, and see that ye commit none of these abominations: neither any of you nor any stranger that sojourneth among you ²⁷ — for all these abominations have the men of the land done which were there before you, and the land is defiled - ²⁸ lest that the land spew you out when ye have defiled it, as it spewed out the nations that were there before you. ²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, the same souls that commit them shall perish from among their people. ³⁰ Therefore see that ye keep mine ordinances, that ye commit none of these abominable customs which were committed before you: that ye defile not yourselves therewith, for I am the LORD your God.'"

¹⁴ Thou shalt not open the privities of thy father's brother; that is, thou shalt not go in to his wife, for she is thine aunt.

¹⁹ He shall neither have children nor kinfolks among his people, no nor any posterity in his country:

¹³ Let his posterity be destroyed; and in the next generation let his name be clean put out.

³⁰ Write this man among the outlaws, for no prosperity shall this man have all his life long. Neither shall any of his seed be so happy as to sit upon the seat of David, and to bear rule in Judah."

⁷ And they had no child, because that Elizabeth was barren; And both were well stricken in age.

²⁵ "This wise hath God dealt with me, in the days when he looked on me, to take from me the rebuke that I suffered among men."

²⁹ For behold, the days will come, when men shall say, 'Happy are the barren and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.'

¹⁶ Thou shalt not unhele the privity of thy brother's wife, for that is thy brother's privity.

³ For Herod had taken John and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. ⁴ For John said unto him, "It is not lawful for thee to have her."

¹ These are the laws which thou shalt set before them:

²⁵ and the land is defiled, and I will visit the wickedness thereof upon it. And the land shall spew out her inhabiters. ²⁶ Keep ye therefore mine ordinances and judgments, and see that ye commit none of these abominations: neither any of you nor any stranger that sojourneth among you ²⁷ — for all these abominations have the men of the land done which were there before you, and the land is defiled - ²⁸ lest that the land spew you out when ye have defiled it, as it spewed out the nations that were there before you.

³³ And I will straw you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be waste, and your cities desolate.

⁴⁵ and these are the witness, ordinances and statutes which Moses told the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt,

¹ And Moses called unto all Israel and said unto them, "Hear, Israel, the ordinances and laws which I speak in thine ears this day, and learn them and take heed that ye do them.

²⁵ And the LORD shall plague thee before thine enemies: Thou shalt come out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them, and shalt be scattered among all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And thy carcass shall be meat unto all manner fowls of the air and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.

⁸ The statutes of the LORD are right, and rejoice the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes. ⁹ The fear of the LORD is clean, and endureth forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. ¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, yea than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. ¹¹ Moreover, by them is thy servant taught, and in keeping of them there is great reward.

⁴⁵ that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

²⁰ My soul breaketh out for the very fervent desire that it hath always unto thy judgments.

⁸⁰ O let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and am steadfastly purposed, to keep thy righteous judgments.

¹⁴⁵ {Kuf} I call with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD. I will keep thy statutes.

¹⁶⁰ Thy word is true from everlasting, all the judgments of thy righteousness endure for evermore.

¹⁶⁴ Seven times a day do I praise thee, because of thy righteous judgments.

¹⁷¹ My lips shall speak of thy praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

¹⁷⁵ O let my soul live, and praise thee, that thy judgments may help me.

⁸ Therefore, LORD, we have a respect unto the way of thy judgments; thy name and thy remembrance rejoice the soul. ⁹ My soul lusteth after thee all the night long, and my mind hasteth freely to thee. For as soon as thy judgment is known to the world, then the inhabiters of the earth learn righteousness.

²⁷ And I will put my spirit in you, and will make that ye shall walk in mine ordinances and keep my laws and do them.

³ Wherefore after the doings of the land of Egypt wherein ye dwelt, see that ye do not; neither after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I will bring you, neither walk ye in their ordinances;

²⁴ Defile not yourselves in any of these things, for with all these things are these nations defiled which I cast out before you:

²⁷ — for all these abominations have the men of the land done which were there before you, and the land is defiled -

³⁰ Therefore see that ye keep mine ordinances, that ye commit none of these abominable customs which were committed before you: that ye defile not yourselves therewith, for I am the LORD your God.'"

⁵ It is not for thy righteousness' sake and right heart that thou goest to possess their land: But partly for the wickedness of these nations, the LORD thy God doth cast them out before thee, and partly to perform that which the LORD thy God sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

³⁰ Beware that thou be not taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroyed before thee, and that thou ask not after their gods saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods, that I may do so likewise?' ³¹ Nay, thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for all abominations which the LORD hated did they unto their gods. For they burnt both their sons and their daughters with fire unto their gods.

⁵⁹ When God heard this, he was wroth, and took sore displeasure at Israel,

¹ Hear the word of the LORD, that he speaketh unto thee, O thou house of Israel. ² Thus sayeth the LORD, "Ye shall not learn after the manner of the Heathen, and ye shall not be afraid for the tokens of heaven: for the Heathen are afraid of such.

⁸ Three shepherds destroyed I in one month, for I might not away with them, neither had they any delight in me.

⁸ and am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land unto a good land and a large, and unto a land that floweth with milk and honey: even unto the place of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and of the Jebusites.

¹⁷ And I have said it, that I will bring you out of the tribulation of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites: even a land that floweth with milk and honey.'

⁸ And I will bring you unto the land over the which I did lift up my hand to give it unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and will give it unto you for a possession: even I the LORD.'"

⁵ When the LORD hath brought thee in to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers that he would give thee: a land wherein milk and honey floweth, then see that thou keep this service in this same month.

⁵ Now therefore if ye will hear my voice and keep mine covenant: ye shall be mine own above all nations, for all the earth is mine. ⁶ Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy people.' These are the words which thou shalt say unto the children of Israel."

³ that thou mayest go in to a land that floweth with milk and honey. But I will not go among you myself, for ye are a stiffnecked people: lest I consume you by the way."

¹⁶ for how shall it be known now that both I and thy people have found favour in thy sight, but in that thou goest with us: that both I and thy people have a preeminence before all the people that are upon the face of the earth."

²⁶ Be holy unto me, for I the LORD am holy and have severed you from other nations: that ye should be mine.

⁹ From the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: Lo, the people shall dwell by himself and shall not be reckoned among other nations.

⁶ For thou art a holy nation unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a several people unto himself of all nations that are upon the earth.

² For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a several people unto himself, of all the nations that are upon the earth.

⁵³ For thou didst separate them to be thine inheritance, above all the nations of the earth, as thou saidest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah."

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love his own. Howbeit, because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore hateth you the world.

¹⁷ Wherefore, "Come out from among them, and separate yourselves," saith the Lord, "and touch none unclean thing: so will I receive you,

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, that ye should show the virtues of him that called you out of darkness into his marvelous light,

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ² "Speak unto the children of Israel and say, 'These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: ³ whatsoever hath hoof and divideth it into two claws and cheweth cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat. ⁴ Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat of them that chew cud and have hoofs. The camel, for he cheweth cud but he divideth not the hoof into two claws, therefore he shall be unclean unto you. ⁵ And the cony, for he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof into two claws, therefore he is unclean to you. ⁶ And the hare, for he likewise cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof into two claws, he is therefore unclean to you. ⁷ And the swine, for though he divide the hoof into two claws, yet he cheweth not the cud and therefore is unclean to you. ⁸ Of their flesh see that ye eat not, and their carcasses see that ye touch not for they are unclean to you. ⁹ "'These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, seas and rivers, that shall ye eat. ¹⁰ And all that have not fins and scales in the seas and rivers of all that move and live in the waters, shall ye abhor. ¹¹ See that ye eat not of their flesh, and also that ye abhor their carcasses: ¹² for all that have no fins nor scales in the waters, shall be abomination unto you. ¹³ These are the fowls which ye shall abhor and which shall not be eaten, for they are an abomination: The eagle, the goshawk, the cormorant, the kite, ¹⁴ the vulture and all his kind, ¹⁵ and all kind of ravens; ¹⁶ the ostrich, the nightcrow, the cuckoo, the sparrowhawk, and all the kind; ¹⁷ the little owl, the stork, the great owl, ¹⁸ the back, the pelican, the pye, ¹⁹ the heron, the jay with the kind, the lapwing and the swallow. ²⁰ And all fowls that creep and go upon all fours shall be an abomination unto you. ²¹ Yet these may ye eat of all the fowls that move and go upon four feet, even those that have no knees above upon their feet to leap withal upon the earth, ²² even these of them ye may eat: the arb and all his kind; the soleam with all his kind; the hargol and all the kind; and the hagab and all his kind. ²³ All other fowls that move and have four feet, shall be abomination unto you. ²⁴ In such ye shall be unclean: whosoever touch the carcass of them shall be unclean unto the even, ²⁵ and whosoever beareth the carcass of them, shall wash his clothes and shall be unclean until even. ²⁶ "'Among all manner beasts, they that have hoofs and divide them not into two claws or that chew not the cud, shall be unclean unto you: and all that toucheth them shall be unclean. ²⁷ And all that goeth upon his hands among all manner beasts that go on all fours, are unclean unto you: and as many as touch their carcasses, shall be unclean until the evening. ²⁸ And he that beareth the carcass of them, shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the even, for such are unclean unto you. ²⁹ And these are also unclean to you among the things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, the toad and all his kind, ³⁰ the hedgehog, stellio, the lizard, the snail and the mole. ³¹ These are unclean to you among all that move, and all that touch them when they be dead, shall be unclean until the evening. ³² And whatsoever any of the dead carcasses of them fall upon, shall be unclean: whatsoever vessel of wood it be, or raiment, or skin, or bag or whatsoever thing it be that any work is wrought with all. And they shall be plunged in the water and be unclean until the even, and then they shall be clean again. ³³ "'All manner of earthen vessel whereinto any of them falleth, is unclean with all that therein is: and ye shall break it. ³⁴ All manner meat that is eaten, if any such water come upon it, it shall be unclean. And all manner drink that is drunk in all manner such vessels, shall be unclean. ³⁵ And whether it be oven or kettle, it shall be broken.

Make not your souls abominable with nothing that creepeth, neither make your souls unclean with them: that ye should be defiled thereby. ⁴⁴ For I am the LORD your God: be sanctified therefore that ye may be holy, for I am holy; and defile not your souls with any manner thing that creepeth upon the earth. ⁴⁵ For I am the LORD that brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: be holy therefore, for I am holy. ⁴⁶ "'This is the law of beast and fowl and of all manner thing that liveth and moveth in the water and of all things that creep upon the earth, ⁴⁷ that ye may put difference between unclean and clean, and between the beasts that are eaten and the beasts that are not eaten.'"

³ Ye shall eat no manner of abomination. ⁴ These are the beasts which ye shall eat of: oxen, sheep and goats, ⁵ hart, roe and bugle, hart goat, unicorn, origen and camelion. ⁶ And all beasts that cleave the hoof, and slit it into two claws and chew the cud, them ye shall eat. ⁷ Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat of them that chew cud and of them that divide and cleave the hoof: the camel, the hare and the coney. For they chew cud, but divide not the hoof: and therefore are unclean unto you: ⁸ and also the swine, for though he divide the hoof, yet he cheweth not cud, and therefore is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of the flesh of them nor touch the dead carcasses of them. ⁹ These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: All that have fins and scales. ¹⁰ And whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of that ye may not eat, for that is unclean unto you. ¹¹ Of all clean birds ye shall eat, ¹² but these are they of which ye may not eat: the eagle, the goshawk, the cormorant, ¹³ the ixion, the vulture, the kite and her kind, ¹⁴ and all kind of ravens, ¹⁵ the ostrich, the nightcrow, the cuckoo, the sparrowhawk and all her kind, ¹⁶ the little owl, the great owl, the back, ¹⁷ the bittern, the pye, ¹⁸ the stork, the heron, the jay in his kind, the lapwing, the swallow. ¹⁹ And all creeping fowls are unclean unto you and may not be eaten of; ²⁰ but of all clean fowls ye may well eat. ²¹ Ye shall eat of nothing that dieth alone: But thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is in thy city that he eat it, or mayest sell it unto an Alien. For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

¹¹ and saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel come down unto him, as it had been a great sheet, knit at the four corners, and was let down to the earth, ¹² wherein were all manner of four footed beasts of the earth and vermin and worms, and fouls of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, "Rise, Peter. Kill and eat." ¹⁴ But Peter said, "God forbid Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean." ¹⁵ And the voice spake unto him again the second time, "What God hath cleansed that make thou not common."

²⁸ And he said unto them, "Ye do know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to company or come unto an alien: But God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean:

⁷ Be not, therefore, companions with them. ⁸ Ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. ⁹ For the fruit of the spirit is, in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. ¹⁰ Accept that which is pleasing to the Lord, ¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness: but rather rebuke them.

⁷ Sanctify yourselves therefore and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.

²⁴ But I have said unto you that ye shall enjoy their land, and that I will give it unto you to possess it: even a land that floweth with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other nations:

¹⁸ And the LORD hath set thee up this day, to be a several people unto him — as he hath promised thee — and that thou keep his commandments, ¹⁹ and to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, in name and honour: that thou mayest be a holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath said."

⁵ O magnify the LORD our God; fall down before his footstool, for he is holy.

⁹ O magnify the LORD our God, and worship him upon his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

³ They cried also each one to other on this manner: "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Hosts! The whole world is full of his glory!"

¹¹ Tread out of the way, go out of the path, turn the holy one of Israel from us."

¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

⁷ "And write unto the tidings-bringer of the congregation of Philadelphia, 'This saith he that is holy and true, which hath the key of David; which openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth.

⁸ And the four beasts had, each one of them, six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within. And they had no rest day neither night saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."

¹⁸ "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

⁶ "'If any soul turn him to enchanters or expounders of tokens and go a whoring after them, I will put my face upon that soul and will destroy him from among his people.

¹⁰ Let there not be found among you that maketh his son or his daughter go through fire, either a bruterer or a maker of dismal days, or that useth witchcraft, or a sorcerer, ¹¹ or a charmer, or that speaketh with a spirit, or a soothsayer, or that asketh the advice of the dead. ¹² For all that do such things are abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth cast them out before thee.

⁷ Then said Saul unto his servants, "Seek me a woman that is mistress of a spirit of prophecy; that I may go to her and ask of her." And his servants said to him, "See, there is a woman that hath a spirit of Prophecy in her possession at Endor." ⁸ And Saul changed his clothes and put on other raiment; and then went he, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Prophesy unto me by the spirit, and bring me him up whom I shall name unto thee." ⁹ And the woman said unto him, "Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath destroyed the women that had prophesying spirits, and the sorcerers, out of the land. Wherefore then layest thou a net for my soul to kill me?"
