Leviticus 18:22-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
22You shall not sleep with a male as one sleeps with a female; it is an abomination. 23Also you shall not have sexual intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.
24‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these things the nations which I am driving out from you have become defiled.
25For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has vomited out its inhabitants.
26But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments, and you shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the stranger who resides among you
27(for the people of the land who were there before you did all these abominations, and the land has become defiled),
King James Version
Chapter 18
22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
22You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable. 23You are not to have sexual intercourse with any animal, defiling yourself with it; a woman is not to present herself to an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.
24"Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things.
25The land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its iniquity, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
26But you are to keep my statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable acts--not the native or the alien who resides among you.
27For the people who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable acts, and the land has become defiled.
New Living Translation
24Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for the people I am driving out before you have defiled themselves in all these ways.
25Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there. I will cause the land to vomit them out.
26You must obey all my decrees and regulations. You must not commit any of these detestable sins. This applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23And 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.
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,
25and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
26But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native 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),
New International Version
24'Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled.
25Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
26But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the foreigners residing among you must not do any of these detestable things,
27for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled.
New King James Version
Chapter 18
22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.
24‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you.
25For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.
26You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you
27(for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled),
