An oldie but goodie single-purpose Tumblr listing things banned in Leviticus, the banny-est of all scriptures. The sex stuff you can imagine (no bonking animals, dudes if you are a dude, divorcées, your grandmother, or your own children), but here are some particularly weird non-sex items in the list:
- Eating any animal which walks on all four and has paws (good news for cats) (11:27)
- Picking up grapes that have fallen in your vineyard (19:10)
- Mixing fabrics in clothing (19:19)
- Cross-breeding animals (19:19)
- Eating fruit from a tree within four years of planting it (19:23)
- Trimming your beard (19:27)
- Getting tattoos (19:28)
- Not standing in the presence of the elderly (19:32)
- Mistreating foreigners – “the foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born” (19:33-34)
- Using dishonest weights and scales (19:35-36)
- Blasphemy (punishable by stoning to death) (24:14)
- Selling land permanently (25:23)
