SEXUAL IMMORALITY (LEV.18)
Then YAHUSHA said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Yisharal. I am Yahuah your Alahim, so do not act like the people where you used to live in Egypt, or like the people of Canaan, where I’m taking you. You mustn’t imitate their way of life, but obey all My Instructions, for I am Yahuah your Alahim. If you obey My Instructions, you will find life through them. I am Yahuah! THESE INSTRUCTIONS WERE NOT REALLY ABOUT THROWING A BUCKET OF COLD WATER ON SEX-HUNGRY PREDATORY MEN (THOUGH THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CASE AT TIMES) IT WAS MORE ABOUT DEFINING WHO A MAN COULD AND COULDN’T MARRY.
You must NEVER HAVE SEX WITH A CLOSE RELATIVE, your Mother (or any of your father’s wives for that matter), your Sister (Half-Sister or Step-Sister), Grand-daughter, Aunty, Uncle, Daughter-in-Law or Sister-in-Law, for they are your close relatives. And don’t marry or have sex with a woman and her daughter, or her Grand-daughter, with a menstruous woman or your Neighbor’s Wife. Do not marry your Wife’s Sister while your Wife is still alive either, for they will be rivals.
Do not permit any of your children to be offered as a sacrifice to Molek, for you mustn’t bring shame on the name of Yahuah your Alahim by doing this wicked behaviour.
THE HORRID ACTIVITIES THE HEATHENS PRACTICED AT THEIR TEMPLES IN WORSHIP TO THEIR DEITIES INCLUDED CHILD SACRIFICE AND MALE TEMPLE PROSTITUTION WHICH INVOLVED THE COMMON PRACTICE OF ANAL SEX. SO YAHUSHA IS CONDEMNING THE TWO MOST PRACTICED ABOMINATIONS THAT THE PAGAN NATIONS ENGAGED IN DURING THEIR RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES IN THIS STATEMENT AND THE ONE THAT DIRECTLY FOLLOWS:
Do not have sex with another man (as with a woman) for IT IS AN ABOMINATION. And DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH AN ANIMAL FOR THIS BEHAVIOUR IS ABSOLUTELY PERVERSE! Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for the people I’m driving out before you have defiled themselves through all these ABOMINABLE BEHAVIOURS and the entire land has become defiled. So I‘m punishing the people who live there and I will cause the land to vomit them out. So you must obey all my Set-Apart Instructions and not commit any of these ABOMINABLE BEHAVIOURS, defiling the land and giving Me a reason to vomit you out too. This of course applies to both the native-born Yisharalite and the foreigners living among you. Whoever commits any of these ABOMINABLE BEHAVIOURS will be cut off from the community of Yisharal, so obey My instructions, and do not defile yourselves by committing any of these ABOMINABLE BEHAVIOURS, for I am Yahuah your Alahim.”
