Summary

Hey Moses, it's God. You got a minute? Yeah I just thought of a bunch more crap you can't do. Grab a pen. The bible makes the incredibly profound moral declaration that we cannot have sex with any of our relatives. I'm so glad he told us that.

Okay, chapter 18 of Leviticus on episode 28 of Thomas and the Bible.

0:31.9
