利未記20:10-27

20:10 「與鄰舍之妻行淫的，姦夫淫婦都必治死。
20:11 與繼母行淫的，就是羞辱了他父親，總要把他們二人治死，罪要歸到他們身上。
20:12 與兒婦同房的，總要把他們二人治死；他們行了逆倫的事，罪要歸到他們身上。
20:13 人若與男人苟合，像與女人一樣，他們二人行了可憎的事，總要把他們治死，罪要歸到他們身上。
20:14 人若娶妻，並娶其母，便是大惡，要把這三人用火焚燒，使你們中間免去大惡。
20:15 人若與獸淫合，總要治死他，也要殺那獸。
20:16 女人若與獸親近，與牠淫合，你要殺那女人和那獸，總要把他們治死，罪要歸到他們身上。
20:17 「人若娶他的姊妹，無論是異母同父的，是異父同母的，彼此見了下體，這是可恥的事；他們必在本民的眼前被剪除。他露了姊妹的下體，必擔當自己的罪孽。
20:18 婦人有月經，若與她同房，露了她的下體，就是露了婦人的血源，婦人也露了自己的血源，二人必從民中剪除。
20:19 不可露姨母或是姑母的下體，這是露了骨肉之親的下體；二人必擔當自己的罪孽。
20:20 人若與伯叔之妻同房，就羞辱了他的伯叔；二人要擔當自己的罪，必無子女而死。
20:21 人若娶弟兄之妻，這本是污穢的事，羞辱了他的弟兄；二人必無子女。
20:22 「所以，你們要謹守遵行我一切的律例典章，免得我領你們去住的那地把你們吐出。
20:23 我在你們面前所逐出的國民，你們不可隨從他們的風俗；因為他們行了這一切的事，所以我厭惡他們。
20:24 但我對你們說過，你們要承受他們的地，就是我要賜給你們為業、流奶與蜜之地。我是耶和華─你們的上帝，使你們與萬民有分別的。
20:25 所以，你們要把潔淨和不潔淨的禽獸分別出來；不可因我給你們分為不潔淨的禽獸，或是滋生在地上的活物，使自己成為可憎惡的。
20:26 你們要歸我為聖，因為我─耶和華是聖的，並叫你們與萬民有分別，使你們作我的民。
20:27 「無論男女，是交鬼的或行巫術的，總要治死他們。人必用石頭把他們打死，罪要歸到他們身上。」

    上帝看重「性關係」的聖潔，因為「性關係」是人與人的關係中最基礎的關係，家庭的關係是從這裡開始。也因為這樣的關係，家族和家族可以聯合再一起，最受構成廣大的親戚關係。這絕對不是兩情相悅，就可以隨心所欲去發生關係，造成許多的混亂，使社會結構動搖！

    上帝用聖潔來保守這些人與人之間的關係不混亂，使人的關係保持穩定與平安！也因為這樣，人對性忠誠、不混亂，如此人才會看重自己與上帝的關係，不隨從別的假神。

    所以，上帝在此宣告：「你們要歸我為聖，因為我─耶和華是聖的，並叫你們與萬民有分別，使你們作我的民。無論男女，是交鬼的或行巫術的，總要治死他們。人必用石頭把他們打死，罪要歸到他們身上。」
