¹⁴“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother. You shall not approach his wife. She is your aunt.

¹⁵“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

¹⁶“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.

¹⁷“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.

²²“‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.

²³“‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.

²⁴“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you
