Laws of Sexual Relations
18:6 “‘No man is to approach any close relative 1 to have sexual intercourse with her. 2 I am the Lord. 3 18:7 You must not 4 expose your father’s nakedness by having sexual intercourse with your mother. 5 She is your mother; you must not have intercourse with her. 18:8 You must not have sexual intercourse with your father’s wife; she is your father’s nakedness. 6 18:9 You must not have sexual intercourse with your sister, whether she is your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, 7 whether she is born in the same household or born outside it; 8 you must not have sexual intercourse with either of them. 9 18:10 You must not expose the nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter by having sexual intercourse with them, because they are your own nakedness. 10 18:11 You must not have sexual intercourse with the daughter of your father’s wife born of your father; she is your sister. You must not have intercourse with her. 11 18:12 You must not have sexual intercourse with your father’s sister; she is your father’s flesh. 12 18:13 You must not have sexual intercourse with your mother’s sister, because she is your mother’s flesh. 18:14 You must not expose the nakedness of your father’s brother; you must not approach his wife to have sexual intercourse with her. 13 She is your aunt. 14 18:15 You must not have sexual intercourse with your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife. You must not have intercourse with her. 18:16 You must not have sexual intercourse with your brother’s wife; she is your brother’s nakedness. 15 18:17 You must not have sexual intercourse with both a woman and her daughter; you must not take as wife either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to have intercourse with them. 16 They are closely related to her 17 – it is lewdness. 18 18:18 You must not take a woman in marriage and then marry her sister as a rival wife 19 while she is still alive, 20 to have sexual intercourse with her.
18:19 “‘You must not approach a woman in her menstrual impurity 21 to have sexual intercourse with her. 18:20 You must not have sexual intercourse 22 with the wife of your fellow citizen to become unclean with her. 18:21 You must not give any of your children as an offering to Molech, 23 so that you do not profane 24 the name of your God. I am the Lord! 18:22 You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; 25 it is a detestable act. 26 18:23 You must not have sexual intercourse 27 with any animal to become defiled with it, and a woman must not stand before an animal to have sexual intercourse with it; 28 it is a perversion. 29
20:10 Then Abimelech asked 1 Abraham, “What prompted you to do this thing?” 2
