“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'I am Yahweh your God.
3 No hagáis lo que se hace en la tierra de Egipto, donde habéis morado; ni hagáis lo que se hace en el país de Canaán adonde Yo os llevo; no sigáis sus costumbres.
You must not do the things that the people do in Egypt, where you lived previously. You must not do the things that the people do in Canaan, the land to which I am taking you. Do not follow their customs.

No one must sleep with any close relative to uncover his nakedness. I am Yahweh.

Whoever does any of these detestable things, the persons who do such things will be cut off from among their people.
