Leviticus 18:19-23
Lev 18:19 “You will not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual contamination.
Lev 18:20 And you will not lie sexually with your associate’s wife and so make yourself contaminated with her.
Lev 18:21 You will not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am Yahveh.
Lev 18:22 You will not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Lev 18:23 And you will not lie with any animal and so make yourself contaminated with it, neither will any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion.
abomination too
This passage does not isolate homosexuality as being more terrible than other mistakes. But neither does it concede any of the things this generation asks for. It lists all these sexual sins, including abortion after-the-fact, as sins against the covenant and the covenant community. Words like perversion, abomination and contamination are not words that we can easily skip over. The God who called for sexual and moral purity in the days of Moses still calls for it today.
LORD, turn the tide, make us a pure people again.
