Leviticus 20:10-21
10‘1If 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 must be put to death. 112If there is a man who sleeps with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them must be put to death, they have brought their 3own deaths upon themselves. 124If there is a man who sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have committed 5incest, and have brought their 6own deaths upon themselves. 137If there is a man who sleeps with a male as those who sleep with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they must be put to death. They have brought their 8own deaths upon themselves. 149If there is a man who 10marries a woman and her mother, it is an outrageous sin; both he and they shall be burned with fire, so that there will be no such outrageous sin in your midst. 1511If there is a man who has sexual intercourse with an animal, he must be put to death; you shall also kill the animal. 16If there is a woman who approaches any animal to 12mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they must be put to death. They have brought their 13own deaths upon themselves.
17‘14If 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. 1815If there is a man who sleeps with a menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood; so both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 1916You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has uncovered his 17blood relative; they will bear their guilt. 2018If there is a man who sleeps with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will die childless. 2119If there is a man who takes his brother’s wife, it is 20detestable; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They will be childless.
