18 Nor shall you take a woman aas a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive.
19 ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as along as she is in her bcustomary impurity.
20 aMoreover you shall not lie carnally with your bneighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her.
21 And you shall not let any of your descendants apass through bthe fire to cMolech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
22 You shall not lie with aa male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Leviticus
Leviticus
LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11 Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
