Leviticus 18:15-30 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

15. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. You shall not uncover her nakedness.

16. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.

17. “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near kinswomen. It is wickedness.

18. “‘You shall not take a wife in addition to her sister, to be a rival, to uncover her nakedness, while her sister is still alive.

19. “‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.

20. “‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbour’s wife, and defile yourself with her.

21. “‘You shall not give any of your children as a sacrifice to Molech. You shall not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.

22. “‘You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.

23. “‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it. No woman may give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.

24. “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

25. The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

26. You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you

27. (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled);

28. that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

29. “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from amongst their people.

30. Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practise any of these abominable customs which were practised before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am the Lord your God.’”
