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。

20:24 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。」

all my decrees and laws and follow them, so that the land where I am bringing
you to live may not vomit you out. 23 You must not live
according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you.
Because they did all these things, I abhorred them. 24 But I
said to you, “You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an
inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart
from the nations.
25 “‘You
must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between
unclean and clean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or
anything that moves along the ground—those that I have set apart as unclean for
you. 26 You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart
from the nations to be my own.
27 “‘A
man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You
are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.’”

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。」
