Leviticus 20

²¹ If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.

²² You are therefore to keep all My statutes and ordinances, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.

²³ You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.

²⁴ But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since 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 peoples.

²⁵ You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.
