[1] The LORD said to Moses, [2] "Say to the people of Israel, Any man of
the people of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who gives
any of his children to Molech shall be put to death; the people of the land
shall stone him with stones. [3] I myself will set my face against that
man, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one
of his children to Molech, defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy
name. [4] And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that
man, when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to
death, [5] then I will set my face against that man and against his family,
and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him
in playing the harlot after Molech. [6] "If a person turns to mediums and
wizards, playing the harlot after them, I will set my face against that
person, and will cut him off from among his people. [7] Consecrate
yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God. [8] Keep my
statutes, and do them; I am the LORD who sanctify you. [9] For every one
who curses his father or his mother shall be put to death; he has cursed
his father or his mother, his blood is upon him. [10] "If a man commits
adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the
adulteress shall be put to death. [11] The man who lies with his father's
wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall be put to
death, their blood is upon them. [12] If a man lies with his
daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death; they have committed
incest, their blood is upon them. [13] If a man lies with a male as with a
woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to
death, their blood is upon them. [14] If a man takes a wife and her mother
also, it is wickedness; they shall be burned with fire, both he and they,
that there may be no wickedness among you. [15] If a man lies with a beast,
he shall be put to death; and you shall kill the beast. [16] If a woman
approaches any beast and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the
beast; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them. [17] "If a man
takes his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and
sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing, and
they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people; he has
uncovered his sister's nakedness, he shall bear his iniquity. [18] If a man
lies with a woman having her sickness, and uncovers her nakedness, he has
made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood;
both of them shall be cut off from among their people. [19] You shall not
uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or of your father's sister,
for that is to make naked one's near kin; they shall bear their iniquity.
[20] If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's
nakedness; they shall bear their sin, they shall die childless. [21] If a
man takes his brother's wife, it is impurity; he has uncovered his
brother's nakedness, they shall be childless. [22] "You shall therefore
keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land
where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out. [23] And you shall
not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you;
for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. [24] But I
have said to you, `You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you
to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.' I am the LORD your God,
who have separated you from the peoples. [25] You shall therefore make a
distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the
unclean bird and the clean; you shall not make yourselves abominable by
beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have
set apart for you to hold unclean. [26] You shall be holy to me; for I the
LORD am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be
mine. [27] "A man or a woman who is a medium or a wizard shall be put to
death; they shall be stoned with stones, their blood shall be upon them."
