18 No tomarás mujer juntamente con su hermana, para hacerla su rival, descubriendo su desnudez delante de ella en su vida.

19 Y no llegarás á la mujer en el apartamiento de su inmundicia, para descubrir su desnudez.

20 Además, no tendrás acto carnal con la mujer de tu prójimo, contaminándote en ella.

21 Y no des de tu simiente para hacerla pasar [por el fuego] á Moloch; no contamines el nombre de tu Dios: Yo Jehová.

22 No te echarás con varón como con mujer: es abominación.
