Leviticus 18:22-30

22Thou shalt not lieH7901 with mankind, as with womankind: it is abominationH8441. 23And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defileH2930 thyself therewith; neither shall any womanH802 standH5975 before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

24DefileH2930 not ye yourselvesH2930 in any of these thingsH428: for in all these the nationsH1471 are defiledH2930 which I cast out from before you; 25and the landH776 is defiledH2930: therefore I do visitH6485 the iniquityH5771 thereof upon it, and the landH776 vomiteth out her inhabitantsH3427. 26Ye therefore shall keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and mine ordinancesH4941, and shall not do any of these abominationsH8441; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you 27(for all these abominationsH8441 have the menH376 of the landH776 done, that were before you, and the landH776 is defiledH2930); 28that the landH776 vomitH6958 not you out also, whenH834 ye defileH2930 it, as it vomited out the nationH1471 that was before you. 29For whosoever shall do any of these abominationsH8441, even the soulsH5315 that do them shall be cutH3772 off from among their peopleH5971. 30Therefore shall ye keepH8104 my chargeH4931, that ye practise not any of these abominable customsH2708, which were practised before you, and that ye defileH2930 not yourselvesH2930 therein: I am Jehovah your GodH430.
