Leviticus 20:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 (A)Also the man that lieth with a beast, shall die the death, and ye shall slay the beast.
16 And if a woman come to any beast, and lie therewith, then thou shalt kill the woman and the beast: they shall die the death, their blood shall be upon them.
17 Also the man that taketh his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and seeth her shame, and she seeth his shame, it is villainy: therefore they shall be cut off in the sight [a]of their people, because he that uncovered his sister’s shame, he shall bear his iniquity.
