Levítico 18

6 Don’t have sex with a close relative. 7 Don’t shame your father by having sex with your mother. She is your mother; don’t have sex with her. 8 Don’t have sex with any of your father’s wives and shame your father. 9 Don’t have sex with your sister,*18:9. This clearly includes a half-sister or a step-sister. whether she’s your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, or whether she was born in the same house as you or somewhere else. 10 Don’t have sex with your granddaughter, your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, because that would be a shameful thing for you. 11 Don’t have sex with the daughter of any of your father’s wives or the daughter of your father. She is your sister. 12 Don’t have sex with your father’s sister. She is a close relative of your father. 13 Don’t have sex with your mother’s sister. She is a close relative of your mother. 14 Don’t bring shame on your uncle by having sex with his wife. She is your aunt. 15 Don’t have sex with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife. Don’t have sex with her. 16 Don’t have sex with your brother’s wife and bring shame on your brother. 17 Don’t have sex with both a woman and her daughter. Don’t have sex with her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter. They are her close relatives. That is something I loathe. 18 Don’t marry your wife’s sister and have sex with her while your wife is still alive. They will be hostile wives to one other. 19 Don’t have sex with a woman during the time she is unclean because of her period. 20 Don’t commit any sex act with any other man’s wife. This would pollute you and make you unclean.

21 Don’t give any of your children as a human sacrifice to Molech,*18:21. Molech was a pagan god. The sacrifices were of children placed alive into the metal idols hands which had been heated with fire. for you must not disgrace the character of your God. I am the Lord.

22 Don’t have sex with a man as with a woman. That is something disgusting. 23 Don’t have sex with any animal. This would pollute you and make you unclean.
