Leviticus 18:21-30

English Standard Version

²¹You shall not give any of your children to ^(A)offer them^[a] to ^(B)Molech, and so ^(C)profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. ²²^(D)You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. ²³^(E)And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is ^(F)perversion.

²⁴^(G)“Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, ^(H)for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, ²⁵and the ^(I)land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land ^(J)vomited out its inhabitants. ²⁶But ^(K)you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the ^(L)native or the stranger who sojourns among you ²⁷(for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean), ²⁸lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. ²⁹For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. ³⁰^(M)So keep my charge never to practice ^(N)any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: ^(O)I am the Lord your God.”
