Leviticus 18:17-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
17You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are blood relatives. It is an outrageous sin. 18And you shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a second wife while she is alive, to uncover her nakedness.
19‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness during her menstrual impurity.
20And you shall not have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her.
21You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.
22You shall not sleep with a male as one sleeps with a female; it is an abomination.
23Also you shall not have sexual intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.
24‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these things the nations which I am driving out from you have become defiled.
25For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has vomited out its inhabitants.
26But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments, and you shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the stranger who resides among you
27(for the people of the land who were there before you did all these abominations, and the land has become defiled),
King James Version
Chapter 18
17Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
19Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
20Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
21And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
27For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

Chapter 18
17You are not to have sexual intercourse with a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sex with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved. 18You are not to marry a woman as a rival to her sister and have sexual intercourse with her during her sister’s lifetime.
19"You are not to approach a woman during her menstrual impurity to have sexual intercourse with her.
20You are not to have sexual intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, defiling yourself with her.
21"You are not to sacrifice any of your children in the fire to Molech. Do not profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.
22You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable.
23You are not to have sexual intercourse with any animal, defiling yourself with it; a woman is not to present herself to an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.
24"Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things.
25The land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its iniquity, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
26But you are to keep my statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable acts—not the native or the alien who resides among you.
27For the people who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable acts, and the land has become defiled.
New Living Translation
24Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for the people I am driving out before you have defiled themselves in all these ways.
25Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there. I will cause the land to vomit them out.
26You must obey all my decrees and regulations. You must not commit any of these detestable sins. This applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.
