Leviticus 20:9-18
9‘1If there is anyone who curses his father or his mother, he shall certainly be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and has brought his 2own death upon himself.
10‘3If 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. 114If 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 5own deaths upon themselves. 126If there is a man who sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have committed 7incest, and have brought their 8own deaths upon themselves. 139If 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 10own deaths upon themselves. 1411If there is a man who 12marries 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. 1513If 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 14mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they must be put to death. They have brought their 15own deaths upon themselves.
17‘16If 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. 1817If 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.
