1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Again, thou shalt say to the
children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or
of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his
seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land
shall stone him with stones.
3 And I will set my face against
that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath
given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my
holy name.
4 And if the people of the land do
any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto
Molech, and kill him not:
5 Then I will set my face against
that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a
whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their
people.
6 And the soul that turneth after
such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after
them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from
among his people.
7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and
be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and
do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
9 For every one that curseth his
father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his
father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 And the man that
committeth adultery with another mans wife, even he that
committeth adultery with his neighbours wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 And the man that lieth with his
fathers wife hath uncovered his fathers nakedness: both of them
shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
12 And if a man lie with his
daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have
wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
13 If a man also lie with mankind,
as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they
shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
14 And if a man take a wife and her
mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he
and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
15 And if a man lie with a beast, he
shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
16 And if a woman approach unto any
beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
17 And if a man shall take his
sister, his fathers daughter, or his mothers daughter, and see her
nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and
they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his
sisters nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 And if a man shall lie with a
woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath
discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood:
and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
19 And thou shalt not uncover the
nakedness of thy mothers sister, nor of thy fathers sister: for he
uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20 And if a man shall lie with his
uncles wife, he hath uncovered his uncles nakedness: they shall bear
their sin; they shall die childless.
21 And if a man shall take his
brothers wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his
brothers nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 Ye shall therefore
keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land,
whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
23 And ye shall not walk in the
manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all
these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye
shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a
land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God,
which have separated you from other people.
25 Ye shall therefore put difference
between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and
ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any
manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated
from you as unclean.
26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for
I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people,
that ye should be mine.
27 A man also or woman that hath a
familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they
shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
