Lev 18:22-30 | ESV | STEP | You shall not lie with a male as with a woman ; it is an abomination .

Leviticus 18:22-30

22 ^aYou shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 ^bAnd you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is ^cperversion.

24 ^d“Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, ^efor by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, 25 and the ^fland became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land ^gvomited out its inhabitants. 26 But ^hyou shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the ⁱnative or the stranger who sojourns among you 27 (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean), 28 lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. 29 For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 ^jSo keep my charge never to practice ^kany of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: ^lI am the Lord your God.”
