Leviticus 18:22-28
King James Version
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

Leviticus 18:22-28
New King James Version
22 You shall not lie with (A)a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall you mate with any (B)animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.
24 (C)‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; (D)for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For (E)the land is defiled; therefore I (F)visit[a] the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land (G)vomits out its inhabitants. 26 (H)You shall therefore [b]keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest (I)the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

Leviticus 18:22-28
New American Standard Bible
22 (A)You shall not sleep with a male as [a]one sleeps with a female; it is an abomination. 23 (B)Also you shall not have sexual intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to [b]mate with it; it is a perversion.
24 ‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these things (C)the nations which I am driving out from you have become defiled. 25 For the land has become defiled, (D)therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land (E)has vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments, and you shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the stranger who resides among you 27 (for the people of the land who were there before you did all these abominations, and the land has become defiled), 28 so that the land will not vomit you out should you defile it, as it has vomited out the nation which was there before you.

Leviticus 18:22-28
Lexham English Bible
22 And you shall not lie with a male as lying with[a] a woman; that is a detestable thing. 23 And you shall not have sexual relations[b] with any animal, becoming unclean with it; and a woman shall not stand before[c] an animal to copulate with it—that is a perversion.
24 “‘You must not make yourself unclean in any of these things, because the nations whom I am driving out from your presence were made unclean by all of these. 25 So[d] the land became unclean, and I have brought the punishment of[e] its guilt upon it, and the land has vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But[f] you (neither the native nor[g] the alien who is dwelling in your midst) shall keep my statutes and my regulations, and you shall not practice[h] any of these detestable things 27 (because the people of the land, who were before you,[i] did all these detestable things, so the land became unclean), 28 so that the land will not vomit you out when you make it unclean just as it vomited out the nation that was before you.[j]

Modern English Version
22 You shall not lie with a man as one does with a woman. It is an abomination.
23 You shall not lie with an animal to defile yourself, nor shall any woman lie with an animal. It is a perversion.
24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in these practices the nations I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. 25 And the land has become defiled; therefore I have punished its iniquity, and the land has vomited out her inhabitants. 26 But you shall therefore keep My statutes and My decrees, and you shall not commit any of these abominations, either the native citizen or any foreigner who sojourns among you 27 (for the people of the land, who were before you, committed all of these abominations, and the land became defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
