Leviticus 18:20-29

20Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her.

21And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

23Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.

24‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you.

25For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.

26You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you

27(for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled),

28lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

29For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
