Leviticus 20:11-19

111If 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 2own deaths upon themselves. 123If there is a man who sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have committed 4incest, and have brought their 5own deaths upon themselves. 136If 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 7own deaths upon themselves. 148If there is a man who 9marries 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. 1510If 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 11mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they must be put to death. They have brought their 12own deaths upon themselves.

17‘13If 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. 1814If 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. 1915You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has uncovered his 16blood relative; they will bear their guilt.
