10‘aIf there is a man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, one who commits adultery with his friend’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

11‘aIf there is a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

12‘aIf there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed 1incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

13‘aIf there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

14‘aIf there is a man who 1marries a woman and her mother, it is immorality; both he and they shall be burned with fire, so that there will be no immorality in your midst.

15‘aIf there is a man who lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; you shall also kill the animal.

16‘If there is a woman who approaches any animal to 1mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

17‘aIf there is a man who takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, so that he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he bears his guilt.

18‘aIf there is a man who lies with a 1menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has 2exposed the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

19‘aYou shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has made naked his 1blood relative; they will bear their guilt.

20‘aIf there is a man who lies with his uncle’s wife he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will die childless.

21‘aIf there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is 1abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They will be childless.
