Can we say eeewwwww!  These are some of the yucky things we have to deal with and one of those touchy subjects forbidden sexual conduct.  In 14 we discuss the cleansing of infectious skin diseases and mildew oh yeah and follow that up discharges that make us unclean.  Boys and girls this isn’t for the faint of heart but it is something that we are required to read and understand.  Now the passages from Matthew keep popping into mind as I write this where Jesus says:
Matthew 5:17
[ The Fulfillment of the Law ] "
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
 
Now let’s move on to chapter 16, “The Day of Atonement”, if you have ever heard the term scapegoat this is where it comes from.  One goat is slaughtered as a sin offering and the second  is presented to the LORD alive and then is sent off into the desert to wander.  Now we get into the no eating of blood and no sex until marriage.  This also covers homosexual acts and acts with animals.  These were sins that caused people to be tossed out of the community.
Leviticus 18:29-30
29 " 'Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30 Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.' "
 
And in the words of Forest Gump, “That’s all I got to say about that”  God Bless
