Leviticus 18:25-29

Unlawful Sexual Relations

25 and the m land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land n vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But o you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the p native or the stranger who sojourns among you 27 (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean), 28 lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. 29 For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people.
