Leviticus 20:9-18

9‘1If there is anyone who curses his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother, his bloodguiltiness is upon him.

10‘2If there is a man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, one who commits adultery with his friend’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 113If 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. 124If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed 5incest, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 136If 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. 147If there is a man who 8marries 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. 159If 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 10mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

17‘11If 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. 1812If there is a man who lies with a 13menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has 14exposed the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
