Leviticus 18:23 in Context — Leviticus 18

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.

23 Ni con ningún animal tendrás ayuntamiento amancillándote con él; ni mujer alguna se pondrá delante de animal para ayuntarse con él: es confusión.

24 En ninguna de estas cosas os amancillaréis; porque en todas estas cosas se han ensuciado las gentes que yo echo de delante de vosotros:

25 Y la tierra fué contaminada; y yo visité su maldad sobre ella, y la tierra vomitó sus moradores.
