Leviticus 18:22-30

221You shall not lieH7901 with a maleH2145 as 2one liesH7901 with a femaleH802; it is an abominationH8441. 233Also you shall not haveH5414 intercourseH7903 with anyH3605 animalH929 to be defiledH2930 with it, norH3808 shall anyH802 womanH802 standH5975 beforeH6440 an animalH929 to 4mateH7250 with it; it is a perversionH8397.

24‘Do not defileH2930 yourselves by anyH3605 of theseH428 thingsH428; for by allH3605 theseH428 5the nationsH1471 whichH834 I am castingH7971 out beforeH4480H6440 you have becomeH2930 defiledH2930. 25For the landH776 has becomeH2930 defiledH2930, 6therefore I have broughtH6485 its 7punishmentH5771 upon it, so the landH776 8has spewedH7006 out its inhabitantsH3427. 26But as for you, you are to keepH8104 My statutesH2708 and My judgmentsH4941 and shall not doH6213 anyH4480H3605 of theseH428 abominationsH8441, neither the nativeH249, nor the alienH1616 who sojournsH1481 amongH8432 you 27(for the menH376 of the landH776 whoH834 have been beforeH6440 you have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH411 abominationsH8441, and the landH776 has becomeH2930 defiledH2930); 28so that the landH776 will not spewH7006 you out, should you defileH2930 it, as it has spewedH7006 out the nationH1471 whichH834 has been beforeH6440 you. 29For whoeverH3605H834 doesH6213 anyH4480H3605 of theseH428 abominationsH8441, 9those personsH5315 who doH6213 so shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from amongH7130 their peopleH5971. 30Thus you are to keepH8104 10My chargeH4931, that you do not practiceH6213 anyH4480 of the abominableH8441 customsH2708 whichH834 have been practicedH6213 beforeH6440 you, so as not to defileH2930 yourselves with them; 11I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”
