Leviticus 18:22–30

22 aYou shall not lie with a male as 1one lies with a female; it is an abomination.

23 aAlso you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to 1mate with it; it is a perversion.

24 ‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these athe nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled.

25 ‘For the land has become defiled, atherefore I have brought its 1punishment upon it, so the land bhas spewed out its inhabitants.

26 ‘But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the alien who sojourns among you

27 (for the men of the land who have been before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled);

28 so that the land will not spew you out, should you defile it, as it has spewed out the nation which has been before you.

29 ‘For whoever does any of these abominations, 1those persons who do so shall be cut off from among their people.

30 ‘Thus you are to keep aMy charge, that you do not practice any of the abominable customs which have been practiced before you, so as not to defile yourselves with them; bI am the Lord your God.’ ”
