Contextual Overview
19 And you shall not draw near to uncover the nakedness of a woman in her menstrual impurity. 20 And you shall not give your semen to your neighbor's wife by lying with her , for uncleanness with her. 21 And you shall not give your seed to pass them through to Molech, nor shall you pollute the name of your God; I am Jehovah. 22 And you shall not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; it is a perversion. 23 And you shall not give your semen with any animal, for uncleanness with it. And a woman shall not stand before an animal to lie down with it; it is a shameful mixing. 24 Do not defile yourself with all these, for with all these the nations have been defiled, which I am casting out before you; 25 and the land is defiled, and I will visit its iniquity on it; and the land is vomiting out those living in it ; 26 and you, you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not do any of all these disgusting acts; neither the native nor the alien who is staying in your midst. 27 For the men of the land who are before you have done all these disgusting things, and the land is defiled. 28 Do not do these lest the land vomit you out for your defiling it, as it has 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.
