Leviticus 18:23-30

New King James Version

²³ Nor shall you mate with any ^(A)animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.

^24 (B)‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; ^(C)for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. ²⁵ For ^(D)the land is defiled; therefore I ^(E)visit^[a] the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land ^(F)vomits out its inhabitants. ^26 (G)You shall therefore ^[b]keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you ²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), ²⁸ lest ^(H)the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. ²⁹ For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be ^[c]cut off from among their people.

³⁰ ‘Therefore you shall keep My ^[d]ordinance, so ^(I)that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: ^(J)I am the Lord your God.’ ”
