20AND THE Lord said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 2Moreover, you shall say to the Israelites, Any one of the Israelites or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech [the fire god worshiped with human sacrifices] shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.H559H1121H3478H376H1121H3478H1616H1481H3478H5414H2233H4432H4191H4191H5971H776H7275H68 3I also will set My face against that man [opposing him, withdrawing My protection from him, and excluding him from My covenant] and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his children to Molech, defiling My sanctuary and profaning My holy name.H5414H6440H376H3772H7130H5971H5414H2233H4432H2930H4720H2490H6944H8034 4And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from the man when he gives one of his children [as a burnt offering] to Molech [the fire god] {and} they overlook it {or} neglect to take legal action to punish him, winking at his sin, and do not kill him [as My law requires],H5971H776H5956H5956H5869H376H5414H2233H4432H4191H1115 5Then I will set My face against that man and against his family and will cut him off from among their people, him and all who follow him to [unfaithfulness to Me, and thus] play the harlot after Molech.H7760H6440H376H4940H3772H2181H310H2181H4432H7130H5971 6The person who turns to those who have familiar spirits and to wizards, [being unfaithful to Israel's Maker Who is her Husband, and thus] playing the harlot after them, I will set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people [that he may not be included in the atonement made for them].H5315H6437H413H178H310H3049H2181H310H5414H6440H5315H3772H7130H5971 7Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the Lord your God.H6942H6918H3068H430 8And you shall keep My statutes and do them. I am the Lord Who sanctifies you.H8104H2708H6213H3068H6942 9Everyone who curses his father or mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or mother; his bloodguilt is upon him.H376H376H7043H1H517H4191H4191H7043H1H517H1818 10The man who commits adultery with another's wife, even his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.H376H5003H376H802H5003H7453H802H5003H5003H4191H4191 11And the man who lies carnally with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of the guilty ones shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon their own heads.H376H7901H1H802H1540H1H6172H8147H4191H4191H1818 12And if a man lies carnally with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought confusion, perversion, {and} defilement; their blood shall be upon their own heads.H376H7901H3618H8147H4191H4191H6213H8397H1818 13If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.H376H7901H2145H4904H802H8147H6213H8441H4191H4191H1818 14And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness {and} an outrageous offense; all three shall be burned with fire, both he and they [after being stoned to death], that there be no wickedness among you.H376H3947H802H517H2154H8313H784H2154H8432 15And if a man lies carnally with a beast, he shall surely be [stoned] to death, and you shall slay the beast.H376H5414H7903H929H4191H4191H2026H929 16If a woman approaches any beast and lies carnally with it, you shall [stone] the woman and the beast; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.H802H7126H929H7250H2026H802H929H4191H4191H1818 17If a man takes his sister, his father's or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a wicked {and} shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he has had sexual relations with his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.H376H3947H269H1H1323H176H517H1323H7200H6172H7200H6172H2617H3772H5869H5971H1121H1540H269H6172H5375H5771 18And if a man shall lie with a woman having her menstrual pains and shall uncover her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.H376H7901H802H1739H1540H6172H6168H4726H1540H4726H1818H8147H3772H7130H5971 19You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or of your father's sister, for that is to make naked his close kin; they shall bear their iniquity.H1540H6172H517H269H1H269H6168H7607H5375H5771 20And if a man shall lie carnally with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless [not literally, but in a legal sense].H376H7901H1733H1540H1730H6172H5375H2399H4191H6185 21And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is impurity; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless [not literally, but in a legal sense].H376H3947H251H802H5079H1540H251H6172H6185 22You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out [as it did those before you].H8104H2708H4941H6213H776H935H3427H6958 23You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I was wearied {and} grieved by them.H3212H2708H1471H7971H6440H6213H6973 24But 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.H559H3423H127H5414H3423H776H2100H2461H1706H3068H430H914H5971 25You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and you shall not make yourselves detestable with beast or with bird or with anything with which the ground teems {or} that creeps, which I have set apart from you as unclean.H914H2889H929H2931H2931H5775H2889H5315H8262H929H5775H7430H127H914H2930 26And you shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.H6918H3068H6918H914H5971 27A man or woman who is a medium {and} has a familiar spirit or is a wizard shall surely be put to death, be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.H376H802H3588H178H3049H4191H4191H7275H68H1818
