Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"You shall also say to the sons
of Israel
:
`Any man
from the sons
of Israel
or from the aliens
sojourning
in Israel
awho
gives
any
of his 1offspring
to Molech
, shall surely
be put
to death
; bthe people
of the land
shall stone
him with stones
.
`I will also set My face
against that man
and will cut
him off
from among
his people
, because
he has given
some
of his 1offspring
to Molech
, aso
as to defile
My sanctuary
and bto profane
My holy
name
.
`If the people
of the land
, however, 1should ever
disregard
that man
when he gives
any
of his 2offspring
to Molech
, so as not to put
him to death
,
then I Myself will set
My face
against that man
and against his family
, and I will cut
off
from among
their people
both him and all
those who play
the harlot
after
him, by playing
the harlot
after
Molech
.
`As for the person who
turns
to 1 amediums
and to spiritists
, to play
the harlot
after
them, I will also set
My face
against that person
and will cut
him off
from among
his people
.
`You shall consecrate yourselves therefore and abe holy
, for I am the LORD
your God
.
` aYou shall keep My statutes
and practice
them; I am the LORD
who sanctifies
you.
` aIf there is anyone
who
curses
his father
or his mother
, he shall surely
be put
to death
; he has cursed
his father
or his mother
, his bloodguiltiness
is upon him.
` aIf there is a man who
commits
adultery
with another man's
wife
, one who
commits
adultery
with his friend's
wife
, the adulterer
and the adulteress
shall surely
be put
to death
.
` aIf there is a man who
lies
with his father's
wife
, he has uncovered
his father's
nakedness
; both
of them shall surely
be put
to death
, their bloodguiltiness
is upon them.
` aIf there is a man who
lies
with his daughter-in-law
, both
of them shall surely
be put
to death
; they have committed
1incest
, their bloodguiltiness
is upon them.
` aIf there is a man who
lies
with a male
as those who lie
with a woman
, both
of them have committed
a detestable
act
; they shall surely
be put
to death
. Their bloodguiltiness
is upon them.
` aIf there is a man who
1marries
a woman
and her mother
, it is immorality
; both he and they shall be burned
with fire
, so that there will be no
immorality
in your midst
.
` aIf there is a man who
lies
with an animal
, he shall surely
be put
to death
; you shall also kill
the animal
.
`If there is a woman who
approaches
any
animal
to 1mate
with it, you shall kill
the woman
and the animal
; they shall surely
be put
to death
. Their bloodguiltiness
is upon them.
` aIf there is a man who
takes
his sister
, his father's
daughter
or
his mother's
daughter
, so that he sees
her nakedness
and she sees
his nakedness
, it is a disgrace
; and they shall be cut
off
in the sight
of the sons
of their people
. He has uncovered
his sister's
nakedness
; he bears
his guilt
.
` aIf there is a man who
lies
with a 1menstruous
woman
and uncovers
her nakedness
, he has laid
bare
her flow
, and she has 2exposed
the flow
of her blood
; thus both
of them shall be cut
off
from among
their people
.
` aYou shall also not uncover the nakedness
of your mother's
sister
or of your father's
sister
, for such a one has made
naked
his 1blood
relative
; they will bear
their guilt
.
` aIf there is a man who
lies
with his uncle's
wife
he has uncovered
his uncle's
nakedness
; they will bear
their sin
. They will die
childless
.
` aIf there is a man who
takes
his brother's
wife
, it is 1abhorrent
; he has uncovered
his brother's
nakedness
. They will be childless
.
`You are therefore to keep all
My statutes
and all
My ordinances
and do
them, so that the land
to which
I am bringing
you to 1live
will not aspew
you out.
`Moreover, you shall not 1follow athe customs
of the nation
which
I will drive
out before
you, for they did
all
these
things
, and btherefore I have abhorred
them.
`Hence I have said to you, " aYou are to possess
their land
, and I Myself
will give
it to you to possess
it, a land
flowing
with milk
and honey
." I am the LORD
your God
, who
has bseparated
you from the peoples
.
` aYou are therefore to make a distinction
between
the clean
animal
and the unclean
, and between
the unclean
bird
and the clean
; and you shall not make
1yourselves
detestable
by animal
or by bird
or by anything
2that creeps
on the ground
, which
I have separated
for you as unclean
.
`Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD
am holy
; and I ahave set
you apart
from the peoples
to be Mine.
`Now a man or
a woman
awho is a medium
or
a 1spiritist
shall surely
be put
to death
. They shall be stoned
with stones
, their bloodguiltiness
is upon them.' "
