3 aAccording to the doings of the land of Egypt, where you dwelt, you shall not do; and baccording to the doings of the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you, you shall not do; nor shall you walk in their2 ordinances.  
4 aYou shall observe My judgments 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, he shall live by them: I am the Lord.
6 ‘None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the Lord.
7 The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of your mother you shall not uncover. She is your mother; you shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 The nakedness of your afather’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s nakedness.

Leviticus 18:1-30

Unlawful marriages and fleshly lusts.

- Here is a law against all conformity to the corrupt usages of the heathen. Also laws against incest, against brutal lusts, and barbarous idolatries; and the enforcement of these laws from the ruin of the Canaanites. God here gives moral precepts. Close and constant adherence to God's ordinances is the most effectual preservative from gross sin. The grace of God only will secure us; that grace is to be expected only in the use of the means of grace. Nor does He ever leave any to their hearts' lusts, till they have left him and his services.
