18:19 “‘You must not approach a woman in her menstrual impurity 7 to have sexual intercourse with her. 18:20 You must not have sexual intercourse 8 with the wife of your fellow citizen to become unclean with her. 18:21 You must not give any of your children as an offering to Molech, 9 so that you do not profane 10 the name of your God. I am the Lord! 18:22 You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; 11 it is a detestable act. 12 18:23 You must not have sexual intercourse 13 with any animal to become defiled with it, and a woman must not stand before an animal to have sexual intercourse with it; 14 it is a perversion. 15
18:24 “‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for the nations which I am about to drive out before you 16 have been defiled with all these things. 18:25 Therefore 17 the land has become unclean and I have brought the punishment for its iniquity upon it, 18 so that the land has vomited out its inhabitants. 18:26 You yourselves must obey 19 my statutes and my regulations and must not do any of these abominations, both the native citizen and the resident foreigner in your midst, 20 18:27 for the people who were in the land before you have done all these abominations, 21 and the land has become unclean. 18:28 So do not make the land vomit you out because you defile it 22 just as it has vomited out the nations 23 that were before you. 18:29 For if anyone does any of these abominations, the persons who do them will be cut off from the midst of their people. 24 18:30 You must obey my charge to not practice any of the abominable statutes 25 that have been done before you, so that you do not 26 defile yourselves by them. I am the Lord your God.’”
