Leviticus 20:11-19

111If there is a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 122If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed 3incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 134If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 145If there is a man who 6marries a woman and her mother, it is immorality; both he and they shall be burned with fire, so that there will be no immorality in your midst. 157If there is a man who lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; you shall also kill the animal. 16If there is a woman who approaches any animal to 8mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

17‘9If there is a man who takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, so that he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he bears his guilt. 1810If there is a man who lies with a 11menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has 12exposed the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 1913You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has made naked his 14blood relative; they will bear their guilt.
