In this double parsha, we find many laws on a number of subjects, from not wearing two kinds of cloth in your clothing, to committing incest with various relatives; from practicing divination or consorting with ghosts, to selling your daughter into prostitution; from honoring the elderly, to sacrificing your children to Molekh.

This parsha is where we get the warning not to shave “the edge growth of your beard” and the forbidding of tattooing.”

But the bulk of the parsha has to do with whom you may marry or have sex with, and whom you may not. Spoiler alert: you can’t have sex with your uncle’s wife.
