10 'And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife—who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour—the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death. 11 'And a man who lieth with his father's wife—the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered—both of them are certainly put to death; their blood 'is' on them. 12 'And a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law—both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood 'is' on them. 13 'And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood 'is' on them. 14 'And a man who taketh the woman and her mother—it 'is' wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst. 15 'And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay. 16 'And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it—thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood 'is' on them. 17 'And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth. 18 'And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood,—even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people. 19 'And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear. 20 'And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die. 21 'And a man who taketh his brother's wife—it 'is' impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.

22 'And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it; 23 and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them; 24 and I say to you, Ye—ye do possess their ground, and I—I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I 'am' Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples. 25 'And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth 'on' the ground which I have separated to you for unclean; 26 and ye have been holy to Me; for holy 'am' I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine. 27 'And a man or woman—when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who 'are' wizards—are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood 'is' on them.'

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 20:10-27

Commentary on Leviticus 20:10-27

(Read Leviticus 20:10-27)

These verses repeat what had been said before, but it was needful there should be line upon line. What praises we owe to God that he has taught the evil of sin, and the sure way of deliverance from it! May we have grace to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things; may we have no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness, but reprove them.
