Punishments for Disobedience

20The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H5592"Give the people of Israel these instructions, which apply both to native Israelites and to the foreigners living in Israel. "If any of them offer their children as a sacrifice to Molech, they must be put to death. The people of the community must stone them to death.H559H1121H3478H376H1121H3478H1616H1481H3478H5414H2233H4432H4191H4191H5971H776H7275H683I myself will turn against them and cut them off from the community, because they have defiled my sanctuary and brought shame on my holy name by offering their children to Molech.H5414H6440H376H3772H7130H5971H5414H2233H4432H2930H4720H2490H6944H80344And if the people of the community ignore those who offer their children to Molech and refuse to execute them,H5971H776H5956H5956H5869H376H5414H2233H4432H4191H11155I myself will turn against them and their families and will cut them off from the community. This will happen to all who commit spiritual prostitution by worshiping Molech.H7760H6440H376H4940H3772H2181H310H2181H4432H7130H59716"I will also turn against those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will cut them off from the community.H5315H6437H413H178H310H3049H2181H310H5414H6440H5315H3772H7130H59717So set yourselves apart to be holy, for I am the LORD your God.H6942H6918H3068H4308Keep all my decrees by putting them into practice, for I am the LORD who makes you holy.H8104H2708H6213H3068H69429"Anyone who dishonorsc father or mother must be put to death. Such a person is guilty of a capital offense.H376H376H7043H1H517H4191H4191H7043H1H517H181810"If a man commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, both the man and the woman who have committed adultery must be put to death.H376H5003H376H802H5003H7453H802H5003H5003H4191H419111"If a man violates his father by having sex with one of his father's wives, both the man and the woman must be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.H376H7901H1H802H1540H1H6172H8147H4191H4191H181812"If a man has sex with his daughter-in-law, both must be put to death.

They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.H376H7901H2145H4904H802H8147H6213H8441H4191H4191H181814"If a man marries both a woman and her mother, he has committed a wicked act. The man and both women must be burned to death to wipe out such wickedness from among you.H376H3947H802H517H2154H8313H784H2154H843215"If a man has sex with an animal, he must be put to death, and the animal must be killed.H376H5414H7903H929H4191H4191H2026H92916"If a woman presents herself to a male animal to have intercourse with it, she and the animal must both be put to death. You must kill both, for they are guilty of a capital offense.H802H7126H929H7250H2026H802H929H4191H4191H181817"If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his father or his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a shameful disgrace.
