Their bloodguiltinessH1818 is upon them. 146If there is a manH376 whoH834 7marriesH3947 a womanH802 and her motherH517, it is immoralityH2154; both he and they shall be burnedH8313 with fireH784, so that there will be noH3808 immoralityH2154 in your midstH8432. 158If there is a manH376 whoH834 liesH5414H7903 with an animalH929, he shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191; you shall also killH2026 the animalH929. 16If there is a womanH802 whoH834 approachesH7126 anyH3605 animalH929 to 9mateH7250 with it, you shall killH2026 the womanH802 and the animalH929; they shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191.

17‘10If there is a manH376 whoH834 takesH3947 his sisterH269, his father’sH1 daughterH1323 orH176 his mother’sH517 daughterH1323, so that he seesH7200 her nakednessH6172 and she seesH7200 his nakednessH6172, it is a disgraceH2617; and they shall be cutH3772 offH3772 in the sightH5869 of the sonsH1121 of their peopleH5971. He has uncoveredH1540 his sister’sH269 nakednessH6172; he bearsH5375 his guiltH5771. 1811If there is a manH376 whoH834 liesH7901 with a 12menstruousH1739 womanH802 and uncoversH1540 her nakednessH6172, he has laidH6168 bareH6168 her flowH4726, and she has 13exposedH1540 the flowH4726 of her bloodH1818; thus bothH8147 of them shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from amongH7130 their peopleH5971.
