<a id="23" name="23"></a>
23. And 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 perversion. 
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
24. “Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean,
<a id="25" name="25"></a>
25. and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
<a id="26" name="26"></a>
26. But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you
<a id="27" name="27"></a>
27. (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean),
<a id="28" name="28"></a>
28. lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
<a id="29" name="29"></a>
29. For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people.
<a id="30" name="30"></a>
30. So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God.”
