Leviticus 20:10-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ If a man commits adultery^(A) with a married woman—if he commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. ¹¹ If a man sleeps with his father’s wife, he has shamed his father.^(B) Both of them must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.^{[a] 12} If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law,^(C) both of them must be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is on their own hands.^{[b] 13} If a man sleeps with a man as with a woman,^(D) they have both committed a detestable thing.^(E) They must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.^{[c] 14} If a man marries a woman and her mother,^(F) it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned with fire,^(G) so that there will be no depravity among you. ¹⁵ If a man has sexual intercourse with^[d] an animal, he must be put to death; you are also to kill the animal. ¹⁶ If a woman comes near any animal and mates with it, you are to kill the woman and the animal.^(H) They must be put to death; their own blood is on them. ¹⁷ If a man marries his sister,^(I) whether his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and they have sexual relations,^[e](J) it is a disgrace.^(K) They must be cut off publicly from their people. He has had sexual intercourse with his sister; he will bear his punishment. ¹⁸ If a man sleeps with a menstruating woman and has sexual intercourse with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood.^(L) Both of them must be cut off from their people. ¹⁹ You must not have sexual intercourse with your mother’s sister or your father’s sister,^(M) for it is exposing one’s own blood relative; both people will bear their punishment. ²⁰ If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has shamed his uncle;^(N) they will bear their guilt and die childless. ²¹ If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is impurity.^(O) He has shamed his brother;^(P) they will be childless.
