Leviticus 18:22-28

22“Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.

23“A man must not defile himself by having sex with an animal. And a woman must not offer herself to a male animal to have intercourse with it. This is a perverse act.

24“Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for the people I am driving out before you have defiled themselves in all these ways.

25Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there. I will cause the land to vomit them out.

26You must obey all my decrees and regulations. You must not commit any of these detestable sins. This applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.

27“All these detestable activities are practiced by the people of the land where I am taking you, and this is how the land has become defiled.

28So do not defile the land and give it a reason to vomit you out, as it will vomit out the people who live there now.
