Leviticus 18 (the eighteenth chapter of the Book of Leviticus) deals with a number of sexual activities considered abominable, including incest and bestiality. The chapter also condemns Moloch worship. It is part of the Holiness Code (Leviticus 17–26),[1] and its sexual prohibitions are largely paralleled by Leviticus 20,[2] except that chapter 20 has more emphasis on punishment.
