Leviticus 18:20

²⁰“‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.

Leviticus 18 lays out a comprehensive list of prohibited sexual relationships and practices, emphasizing the holiness required of God's people. This chapter serves as a foundational text for Israel's moral and ethical distinctiveness, contrasting their conduct with the defiling practices of the Canaanites and Egyptians. It underscores the sanctity of human sexuality within God's design and warns against the severe consequences of disobedience, ultimately calling Israel to live as a holy nation set apart for the Lord.
