"If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, so that he exposes her nakedness and she exposes his nakedness, it's a shameful thing.

“You are to keep all My statutes and all My ordinances, and do them, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.

You are not to live by the customs of the nations, whom I've cast away right in front of you. Because they did all of these things, I detested them.

Hence I have said to you, “You are to possess their land, and I Myself will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

Therefore you must distinguish the clean animal from the unclean one, and the unclean bird from the clean one. Do not become contaminated by any land animal, bird, or whatever crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

You are not to present to the Lord anything that has bruised, crushed, torn, or severed testicles; you must not sacrifice them in your land.

You are also to prepare one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a fellowship sacrifice.

The fiftieth year will be your Jubilee; you are not to sow, reap what grows by itself, or harvest its untended vines.

So if you had sold property to a neighbor or had acquired land from your neighbor, you are not to cheat one another.

You are to make the purchase from your neighbor based on the number of years since the last Jubilee. He is to sell to you based on the number of remaining harvest years.

You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am Yahweh your God.
