Leviticus 20:19-27 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

19. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother, and of thy aunt by thy father: he that doth this, hath uncovered the shame of his own flesh, both shall bear their iniquity.

20. If any mall lie with the wife of his uncle by the father, or of his uncle by the mother, and uncover the shame of his near akin, both shall bear their sin: they shall die without children.

21. He that marrieth his brother's wife, doth an unlawful thing, he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness: they shall be without children.

22. Keep my laws and my judgments, and do them: lest the land into which you are to enter to dwell therein, vomit you also out.

23. Walk not after the laws of the nations, which I will cast out before you. For they have done all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

24. But to you I say: Possess their land which I will give you for an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from other people.

25. Therefore do you also separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the clean fowl from the unclean: defile not your souls with beasts, or birds, or any things that move on the earth, and which I have shewn you to be unclean.

26. You shall be holy unto me, because I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from other people, that you should be mine.

27. A man, or woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divining spirit, dying let them die: they shall stone them: their blood be upon them.
