Leviticus 20:1-16 ▼

1 And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying,

2 And to the sons of Israel thou shalt say, A man, a man from the sons of Israel, and from the stranger sojourning in Israel which shall give of his seed to Molech, dying, he shall die: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3 And I will give my face against that man and cut him off from the midst of his people; for he gave from his seed to Molech, in order to defile my holy place and to profane my holy name.

4 And if the people of the land, hiding, shall hide their eyes from that man in his giving his seed to Molech, so as not to put him to death;

5 And I set my face against that man and against his family, and I cut him off, and all committing fornication after him to commit fornication after Molech, from the midst of their people.

6 And the soul which shall turn to necromancers and to wizards, to commit fornication after them, and I gave my face against that soul and I cut him off from the midst of his people.

7 And ye were consecrated and ye were holy: for I Jehovah your God.

8 And ye watched my laws, and ye did them: I Jehovah consecrating you.

9 When a man, a man who shall lightly esteem his father and his mother, dying, he shall die: he lightly esteemed ha father and his mother: his blood is upon him.

10 And a man who shall commit adultery with a man's wife, who shall commit adultery with his friend's wife, dying, he shall die, the adulterer and the adulteress.

11 And a man who shall lie with his father's wife, uncovered his father's nakedness: dying, they shall die: they two their blood is upon them,

12 And a man who shall lie with his daughter-in-law, dying, they shall die, they two: they did profanation; their blood is upon them.

13 And a man who shall lie with a male in a woman's bed, they did abomination: they two, dying, shall die; their blood is upon them.

14 A man who shall take a woman and her mother, it wickedness: in fire they shall be burnt, he and they: and there shall not be wickedness in the midst of you.

15 And a man who shall give his bed with a quadruped, dying, he shall die: and ye shall kill the quadruped.

16 And a woman who shall come near to any quadruped to lie down with it, and didst thou kill the woman and the quadruped; dying, they shall die; their blood is upon them.
