²³Thou shalt not copulate with any beast: neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime.

²⁴Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,

²⁵And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.

²⁶Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments: and do not any of these abominations. Neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.

²⁷For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that were before you, and have defiled it.

²⁸Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things: as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.

³⁰Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you: and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.
