| 1 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, | The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, | The LORD said to Moses, | |
| 2 | Thou shalt also say to the children of Israel, If there shall be any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones. | “Say to the people of Israel, Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. | “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death. The members of the community are to stone him. | |
| 3 | And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me. | 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, to make my sanctuary unclean and to profane my holy name. | I myself will set my face against him and will cut him off from his people; for by sacrificing his children to Molek, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. | |
| 4 | And if the natives of the land should in anywise overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death; | And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death, | If the members of the community close their eyes when that man sacrifices one of his children to Molek and if they fail to put him to death, | |
| 5 | then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people. | then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech. | I myself will set my face against him and his family and will cut them off from their people together with all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molek. | |
| 6 | And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from among its people. | “If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people. | “’I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people. | |
| 7 | And ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. | Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God. | “’Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God. | |
| 8 | And ye shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord that sanctifies you. | Keep my statutes and do them; I am the LORD who sanctifies you. | Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy. | |
| 9 | Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty. | For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him. | “’Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head. | |
| 10 | Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress. | “If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. | “’If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. | |
| 11 | And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty. | If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. | “’If a man has sexual relations with his father’s wife, he has dishonored his father. Both the man and the woman are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. | |
| 12 | And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty. | If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed perversion; their blood is upon them. | “’If a man has sexual relations with his daughter-in-law, both of them are to be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood will be on their own heads. | |
| 13 | And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty. | If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. | “’If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.

| 16 | And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, ye shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty. | If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. | “’If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. | |
| 17 | Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin. | “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 disgrace, and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people.

| 23 | And walk ye not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them: | And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them. | You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them. | |
| 24 | and I said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, even a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people. | 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 has separated you from the peoples. | But I said to you, “You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the nations. | |

You shall not make yourselves detestable by beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground crawls, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean. | “’You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between unclean and clean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that moves along the ground—those that I have set apart as unclean for you. | |

| 27 | And as for a man or woman whosoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: ye shall stone them with stones, they are guilty. | “A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.” | “’A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.’” | |
