Leviticus 20:1-16 ▼

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “And to the sons of Israel you shall say, ‘Any man of the sons of Israel or from the sojourner who is sojourning in Israel who gives of his seed to Molech, he must 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, for of his seed he has given to Molech to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.

4 And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes from that man when he gives of his seed to Molech, and they do not kill him,

5 then I will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut him off—and all who prostitute themselves with him to commit prostitution with Molech—from among their people.

6 And the person who turns to the mediums and to the spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from among his people.

7 And consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am YHWH your? God.

8 And you? shall keep My statutes and perform them. I am YHWH who sanctifies you?.

9 For any man who curses his father or his mother, he must surely be put to death. His father or his mother He has cursed; his blood is on him.

10 And the man who commits adultery with the wife of a man—who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor—the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.

11 And the man who lies with the wife of his father has uncovered the nakedness of his father—both of them must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

12 And a man, if he lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them must surely be put to death. They have committed perversion; their blood is on them.

13 And a man, if he lies with a male as he lies with a woman, the two of them have committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is on them.

14 And a man, if he marries a woman and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with the fire, he and they, that there may not be wickedness in your? midst.

15 And a man who commits his copulation with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and the animal you? shall kill.

16 And a woman, if she approaches unto any animal and mates with it, then you shall kill the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is on them.
