Leviticus 18:20-29
20And 1you shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her. 21You shall not give any of your children 2to 3offer them to Molech, nor shall you 4profane the name of your God; I am the Lord. 225You shall not sleep with a male as 6one sleeps with a female; it is an abomination. 237Also you shall not have sexual intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to 8mate with it; it is a perversion.
24‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these things 9the nations which I am driving out from you have become defiled. 25For the land has become defiled, 10therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land 11has vomited out its inhabitants. 26But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments, and you shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the stranger who resides among you 27(for the people of the land who were there before you did all these abominations, and the land has become defiled), 28so that the land will not vomit you out should you defile it, as it has vomited out the nation which was there before you. 29For whoever does any of these abominations, those persons who do so shall be cut off from among their people.
