Leviticus 20:9-18

9If a person says bad things about his mother or his father, you must kill him. He has destroyed their honour. His sin will cause his death.

10If a man has sex with another man's wife you must kill him and the woman.

11A man is sinning if he has sex with his father's wife. You must kill the man and the woman. They have destroyed the father's honour. Their sin causes their death.

12A man is sinning if he has sex with his son's wife. You must kill them both. They have done a strange thing. Their own sin causes their death.

13A man is sinning if he has sex with another man. You must kill both of the men. They should be ashamed. Their sin causes their death.

14A man is sinning if he marries a woman and her mother. You must burn the man and both the women in the fire. Then their sin will not make my people unclean.

15A man is sinning if he has sex with an animal. You must kill the man and the animal.

16A woman is sinning if she has sex with an animal. You must kill the woman and the animal. Their sin causes their death.

17It is a sin if a man marries his sister. She may be the daughter of his father or of his mother. It is a sin if he has sex with her. The people must send them away. He has taken away his sister's honour. He must carry the punishment for his sin.

18A man must not have sex with a woman when she is bleeding. If he does, it is a sin. They have not obeyed the rules of the Lord. The people must send them away.
