11The man who lies with his lfather’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. 12If a man lies with his mdaughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed perversion. Their blood shall be upon them. 13nIf a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. 14If a man marries a woman and her omother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you. 15If a man mates with an panimal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. 16If a woman approaches any animal and mates with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood is upon them.

17‘If a man takes his qsister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a wicked thing. And they shall be 6cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his 7guilt. 18rIf a man lies with a woman during her 8sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has 9exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be 1cut off from their people.

19‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your smother’s sister nor of your tfather’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their guilt. 20If a man lies with his uuncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21If a man takes his vbrother’s wife, it is an 2unclean thing. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.
