19 You must not approach a woman to have sexual relations with her during her menstrual period.

20 You must not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife and thus defile yourself with her.

22 You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.

24 Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.

25 Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.
