1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: I am the Lord your God.
3 After the practices of the land of Egypt, from where you lived, you shall not follow, and after the practices of the land of Canaan, to where I will bring you, you shall not follow; nor shall you walk in their ordinances.
4 You shall follow My decrees and keep My ordinances to walk in them: I am the Lord your God.
5 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does them, then he shall live by them: I am the Lord.
6 None of you shall approach any of his near relatives to have relations: I am the Lord.
