Punishments for Sin

20The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 2"Say to the Israelites: 'Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him.H559H1121H3478H376H1121H3478H1616H1481H3478H5414H2233H4432H4191H4191H5971H776H7275H68 3I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people; for by giving his children to Molech, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name.H5414H6440H376H3772H7130H5971H5414H2233H4432H2930H4720H2490H6944H8034 4If the people of the community close their eyes when that man gives one of his children to Molech and they fail to put him to death,H5971H776H5956H5956H5869H376H5414H2233H4432H4191H1115 5I will set my face against that man and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molech.H7760H6440H376H4940H3772H2181H310H2181H4432H7130H5971 6"'I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people.H5315H6437H413H178H310H3049H2181H310H5414H6440H5315H3772H7130H5971 7"'Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.H6942H6918H3068H430 8Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy.H8104H2708H6213H3068H6942 9"'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.H376H376H7043H1H517H4191H4191H7043H1H517H1818 10"'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.H376H5003H376H802H5003H7453H802H5003H5003H4191H4191 11"'If a man sleeps with his father's wife, he has dishonored his father. Both the man and the woman must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.H376H7901H1H802H1540H1H6172H8147H4191H4191H1818 12"'If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood will be on their own heads.H376H7901H3618H8147H4191H4191H6213H8397H1818 13"'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.H376H7901H2145H4904H802H8147H6213H8441H4191H4191H1818 14"'If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is wicked. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that no wickedness will be among you.H376H3947H802H517H2154H8313H784H2154H8432 15"'If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal.H376H5414H7903H929H4191H4191H2026H929 16"'If a woman approaches an animal to have sexual relations with it, kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.H802H7126H929H7250H2026H802H929H4191H4191H1818 17"'If a man marries his sister, the daughter of either his father or his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off before the eyes of their people. He has dishonored his sister and will be held responsible.H376H3947H269H1H1323H176H517H1323H7200H6172H7200H6172H2617H3772H5869H5971H1121H1540H269H6172H5375H5771 18"'If a man lies with a woman during her monthly period and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has also uncovered it. Both of them must be cut off from their people.H376H7901H802H1739H1540H6172H6168H4726H1540H4726H1818H8147H3772H7130H5971 19"'Do not have sexual relations with the sister of either your mother or your father, for that would dishonor a close relative; both of you would be held responsible.H1540H6172H517H269H1H269H6168H7607H5375H5771 20"'If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will be held responsible; they will die childless.H376H7901H1733H1540H1730H6172H5375H2399H4191H6185 21"'If a man marries his brother's wife, it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless.H376H3947H251H802H5079H1540H251H6172H6185 22"'Keep all my decrees and laws and follow them, so that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out.H8104H2708H4941H6213H776H935H3427H6958 23You 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.H3212H2708H1471H7971H6440H6213H6973 24But 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.H559H3423H127H5414H3423H776H2100H2461H1706H3068H430H914H5971 25"'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 which I have set apart as unclean for you.H914H2889H929H2931H2931H5775H2889H5315H8262H929H5775H7430H127H914H2930 26You are to be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.H6918H3068H6918H914H5971 27"'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.'"H376H802H3588H178H3049H4191H4191H7275H68H1818
