Leviticus 20:20–26

²⁰“ ‘If a man has sexual relations with his aunt,^j he has dishonored his uncle. They will be held responsible; they will die childless.^k

²¹“ ‘If a man marries his brother’s wife,^l it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless.^m

²²“ ‘Keep all my decrees and lawsⁿ and follow them, so that the land^o where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out. ²³You must not live according to the customs of the nations^p I am going to drive out before you.^q Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.^{r 24}But I said to you, “You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.”^s I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart from the nations.^t

²⁵“ ‘You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between unclean and clean birds.^u Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that moves along the ground—those that I have set apart as unclean for you. ²⁶You are to be holy to me^v because I, the Lord, am holy,^w and I have set you apart from the nations^x to be my own.
