Leviticus 20:11-19

11And the manH376 that lieth with his father’sH1 wifeH802 hath uncoveredH1540 his father’sH1 nakednessH6172: both of them shall surely be putH4191 to deathH4191; their bloodH1818 shall be upon them. 12And if a manH376 lieH7901 with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be putH4191 to deathH4191: they have wrought confusion; their bloodH1818 shall be upon them. 13And if a manH376 lieH7901 with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abominationH8441: they shall surely be putH4191 to deathH4191; their bloodH1818 shall be upon them. 14And if a manH376 takeH3947 a wifeH802 and her motherH517, it is wickednessH2154: they shall beH1961 burnt with fireH784, both he and they; that there beH1961 no wickednessH2154 among you. 15And if a manH376 lie with a beast, he shall surely be putH5414 to deathH4191: and ye shall slayH2026 the beast. 16And if a womanH802 approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt killH2026 the womanH802, and the beast: they shall surely be putH4191 to deathH4191; their bloodH1818 shall be upon them.

17And if a manH376 shall takeH3947 his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323, or his mother’sH517 daughterH1323, and seeH7200 her nakednessH6172, and she seeH7200 his nakednessH6172; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cutH3772 off in the sight of the children of their peopleH5971: he hath uncoveredH1540 his sister’sH269 nakednessH6172; he shall bearH5375 his iniquityH5771. 18And if a manH376 shall lieH7901 with a womanH802 having her sickness, and shall uncoverH1540 her nakednessH6172; he hath madeH3772 nakedH6168 her fountainH4726, and she hath uncoveredH1540 the fountainH4726 of her bloodH1818: and both of them shall be cutH3772 off from among their peopleH5971. 19And thou shalt not uncoverH1540 the nakednessH6172 of thy mother’sH517 sisterH269, nor of thy father’sH1 sisterH269; for he hath made nakedH6168 his near kin: they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771.
