Leviticus 18:12-30
18:12 You must not have sexual intercourse with your father’s sister; she is your father’s flesh.
18:13 You must not have sexual intercourse with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s flesh.
18:14 You must not expose the nakedness of your father’s brother; you must not approach his wife to have sexual intercourse with her.
She is your aunt.
18:15 You must not have sexual intercourse with your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife. You must not have intercourse with her.
18:16 You must not have sexual intercourse with your brother’s wife; she is your brother’s nakedness.
18:17 You must not have sexual intercourse with both a woman and her daughter; you must not take as wife either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to have intercourse with them.
They are closely related to her
– it is lewdness.
18:18 You must not take a woman in marriage and then marry her sister as a rival wife
while she is still alive,
to have sexual intercourse with her.
18:19 “‘You must not approach a woman in her menstrual impurity to have sexual intercourse with her.
18:20 You must not have sexual intercourse with the wife of your fellow citizen to become unclean with her.
18:21 You must not give any of your children as an offering to Molech, so that you do not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord!
18:22 You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; it is a detestable act.
18:23 You must not have sexual intercourse with any animal to become defiled with it, and a woman must not stand before an animal to have sexual intercourse with it; it is a perversion.
Warning against the Abominations of the Nations
18:24 “‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for the nations which I am about to drive out before you have been defiled with all these things.
18:25 Therefore the land has become unclean and I have brought the punishment for its iniquity upon it, so that the land has vomited out its inhabitants.
18:26 You yourselves must obey my statutes and my regulations and must not do any of these abominations, both the native citizen and the resident foreigner in your midst,
18:27 for the people who were in the land before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become unclean.
18:28 So do not make the land vomit you out because you defile it just as it has vomited out the nations that were before you.
18:29 For if anyone does any of these abominations, the persons who do them will be cut off from the midst of their people.
18:30 You must obey my charge to not practice any of the abominable statutes that have been done before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the Lord your God.’”
