Leviticus 18:7-28

⁷Don't shame your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother; don't have sex with her.

⁸Don't have sex with any of your father's wives and shame your father.

⁹Don't have sex with your sister, whether she's your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, or whether she was born in the same house as you or somewhere else.

¹⁰Don't have sex with your granddaughter, your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, because that would be shameful thing for you.

¹¹Don't have sex with the daughter of any of your father's wives and your father, she is your sister.

¹²Don't have sex with your father's sister. She is a close relative of your father.

¹³Don't have sex with your mother's sister. She is a close relative of your mother.

¹⁴Don't bring shame on your uncle by having sex with his wife. She is your aunt.

¹⁵Don't have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son's wife. Don't have sex with her.

¹⁶Don't have sex with your brother's wife and bring shame on your brother.

¹⁷Don't have sex with both a woman and her daughter. Don't have sex with her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter. They are her close relatives. That is something I loathe.

¹⁸Don't marry your wife's sister and have sex with her while your wife is still alive. They will be hostile wives to one other.

¹⁹Don't have sex with a woman during the time she is unclean because of her period.

²⁰Don't commit any sex act with any other man's wife. This would pollute you and make you unclean.

²¹Don't give any of your children as a human sacrifice to Molech, for you must not disgrace the character of your God. I am the Lord.

²²Don't have sex with a man as with a woman. That is something disgusting.

²³Don't have sex with any animal. This would pollute you and make you unclean.

²⁴A woman must not give herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is something disgusting. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean by doing anything like this. That's the reason I'm expelling these nations from the land—they polluted themselves because of all these practices.

²⁵Even the land has become polluted, so I am punishing it for the sins committed by the people who live there, and the land will vomit them out.

²⁶You, however, must do what I tell you and keep my rules. You must not do any of these disgusting acts, whether an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.

²⁷The people who lived in the land before you practiced all these disgusting things, and the land became polluted.

²⁸If you pollute the land, it will vomit you out just like it did the nations before you.
