Leviticus 18:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 18:19

17 You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her ^adaughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are near of kin to her. It is wickedness.

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.

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

24 ^a‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; ^bfor by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you.

25 For ^athe land is defiled; therefore I ^bvisit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land ^cvomits out its inhabitants.
