## Leviticus 20:17-21 in Context (Verses 14–24 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/14) And if a man take a wife and her mother, it *is* wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/15) And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/16) And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood *shall be* upon them.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/17) And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it *is* a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/18) And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/19) And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/20) And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/21) And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it *is* an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/22) ¶ Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/23) And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/24) But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I *am* the LORD your God, which have separated you from *other* people.
