Leviticus 18:20-30 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. Moreover, you shall not have relations with your neighbor’s wife to defile yourself with her.

21. You shall not let any of your children be offered through the fire to Molek, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

22. You shall not lie with a man as one does with a woman. It is an abomination.

23. You shall not lie with an animal to defile yourself, nor shall any woman lie with an animal. It is a perversion.

24. Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in these practices the nations I am casting out before you have defiled themselves.

25. And the land has become defiled; therefore I have punished its iniquity, and the land has vomited out her inhabitants.

26. But you shall therefore keep My statutes and My decrees, and you shall not commit any of these abominations, either the native citizen or any foreigner who sojourns among you

27. (for the people of the land, who were before you, committed all of these abominations, and the land became defiled),

28. lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

29. For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, those persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

30. Therefore you shall keep My ordinances, that you do not commit any one of these abominable customs which were committed before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.
