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.

What Does Leviticus 18:21 Mean?



Leviticus 18:21

God said these other nations had defiled themselves and the land because they had violated the third commandment, "taking the name of God in vain." We break this commandment, not only in speech, but also by using or bearing His name in an unworthy, profane way in our conduct.
