1 The LORD said to Moses 2 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'I am the LORD your God." 3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God. 5 Keep my decrees and laws, for whoever obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD. 6 "No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD." 7 "Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother.
