Leviticus 18:22–30

²²“ ‘You must not have sexual relations with a man as you would a woman. That is a hateful sin.

²³“ ‘You must not have sexual relations with an animal and make yourself unclean with it. Also a woman must not have sexual relations with an animal; it is not natural.

²⁴“ ‘Don’t make yourself unclean by any of these wrong things. I am forcing nations out of their countries because they did these sins, and I am giving their land to you. ²⁵The land has become unclean, and I punished it for its sins, so the land is throwing out those people who live there.

²⁶“ ‘You must obey my laws and rules, and you must not do any of these hateful sins. These rules are for the citizens of Israel and for the people who live with you. ²⁷The people who lived in the land before you did all these hateful things and made the land unclean. ²⁸If you do these things, you will also make the land unclean, and it will throw you out as it threw out the nations before you. ²⁹Anyone who does these hateful sins must be cut off from the people. ³⁰Keep my command not to do these hateful sins that were done by the people who lived in the land before you. Don’t make yourself unclean by doing them. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
