Contextual Overview
19 Thou shalt not approach to a woman having her flowers: neither shalt thou uncover her nakedness. 20 Thou shalt not lie with thy neighbour’s wife: nor be defiled with mingling of seed. 21 Thou shalt not give any of thy seed to be consecrated to the idol Moloch, nor defile the name of thy God. I am the Lord. 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: because it is an abomination. 23 Thou shalt not copulate with any beast: neither shalt thou be defiled with it. A woman shall not lie down to a beast, nor copulate with it: because it is a heinous crime. 24 Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you, 25 And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants. 26 Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments: and do not any of these abominations. Neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you. 27 For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that were before you, and have defiled it. 28 Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things: as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Also thou shall not approach unto a woman,.... Not even a man to his own wife, and much less to another woman:
to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness; in her monthly courses; and the time of her separation from her husband on that account was seven days, Leviticus 15:19; if a man lay with a woman when in such circumstances, they were both to be cut off from their people, Leviticus 20:18; and such an action is reckoned among sins, and uncleanness of the worst sort, Ezekiel 22:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 18:19. As long as she is put apart — Leviticus 15:24; Leviticus 15:24.
