New Testament

Leviticus 20:7-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. Consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am Yahweh your God.

8. Keep My statutes and do them; I am Yahweh who sets you apart.

9. “If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood is on his own hands.

10. If a man commits adultery 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. Both of them must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.

12. If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is on their own hands.

13. If a man sleeps with a man as with a woman, they have both committed a detestable thing. They must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.

14. If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned with fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.

15. If a man has sexual intercourse with 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. They must be put to death; their own blood is on them.
