8 Hold mine forskrifter og praktiser dem. Jeg er Herren, som helliger dere.

9 ‘Enhver som forbanner sin far eller mor skal visselig dø. De har forbannet sin far eller mor; deres blod skal være over deres eget hode.

‘Hvis en mann begår ekteskapsbrudd med en annen manns kone, skal både ekteskapsbryteren og ekteskapsbrytersken visselig dø.

11 ‘Hvis en mann har seksuell omgang med sin fars kone, har han avdekket sin fars nakenhet. Begge skal visselig dø; deres blod skal være over deres egne hoder.

12 ‘Hvis en mann har seksuell omgang med sin svigerdatter, skal begge visselig dø. De har begått en perversjon; deres blod skal være over deres egne hoder.
