Leviticus 18:23 in Context — Leviticus 18

21 Tu ne livreras aucun de tes enfants pour le faire passer à Moloc, et tu ne profaneras point le nom de ton Dieu. Je suis l’Éternel.

22 Tu ne coucheras point avec un homme comme on couche avec une femme. C’est une abomination.

23 Tu ne coucheras point avec une bête, pour te souiller avec elle. La femme ne s’approchera point d’une bête, pour se prostituer à elle. C’est une confusion.

24 Ne vous souillez par aucune de ces choses, car c’est par toutes ces choses que se sont souillées les nations que je vais chasser devant vous.

25 Le pays en a été souillé; je punirai son iniquité, et le pays vomira ses habitants.
