Leviticus 18:12-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. You shall not have intercourse with your father’s sister, since she is your father’s relative.

13. You shall not have intercourse with your mother’s sister, since she is your mother’s relative.

14. You shall not disgrace your father’s brother by having sexual relations with his wife, since she, too, is your aunt.

15. You shall not have intercourse with your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife; you shall not have intercourse with her.

16. You shall not have intercourse with your brother’s wife; that would be a disgrace to your brother.

17. You shall not have intercourse with a woman and also with her daughter, nor shall you marry and have intercourse with her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter; they are related to her. This would be shameful.

18. While your wife is still living you shall not marry her sister as her rival and have intercourse with her.

19. You shall not approach a woman to have intercourse with her while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.

20. You shall not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife, defiling yourself with her.

21. You shall not offer any of your offspring for immolation to Molech, thus profaning the name of your God. I am the Lord.

22. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination.

23. You shall not have sexual relations with an animal, defiling yourself with it; nor shall a woman set herself in front of an animal to mate with it; that is perverse.

24. Do not defile yourselves by any of these things, because by them the nations whom I am driving out of your way have defiled themselves.

25. And so the land has become defiled, and I have punished it for its wickedness, and the land has vomited out its inhabitants.
