Leviticus 18:23-30
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
23 You are not to have sexual intercourse with[a] any animal, defiling yourself with it; a woman is not to present herself to an animal to mate with it;(A) 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. 25 The land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its iniquity, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.(B) 26 But you are to keep my statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable acts – not the native or the foreigner who resides among you. 27 For the people who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable acts, and the land has become defiled. 28 If you defile the land, it will vomit(C) you out as it has vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 Any person who does any of these detestable practices is to be cut off from his people. 30 You must keep my instruction to not do any of the detestable customs(D) that were practised before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them; I am the Lord your God.’
