Leviticus 18:19–30

¹⁹“ ‘Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness^j of her monthly period.^k

²⁰“ ‘Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife^l and defile yourself with her.

²¹“ ‘Do not give any of your children^m to be sacrificed to Molek,ⁿ for you must not profane the name of your God.^o I am the Lord.^p

²²“ ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman;^q that is detestable.^r

²³“ ‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.^s

²⁴“ ‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you^t became defiled.^{u 25}Even the land was defiled;^v so I punished it for its sin,^w and the land vomited out its inhabitants.^{x 26}But you must keep my decrees and my laws.^y The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things, ²⁷for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. ²⁸And if you defile the land,^z it will vomit you out^a as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

²⁹“ ‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. ³⁰Keep my requirements^b and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.^c’ ”
