1 The LORD spoke to Moses and said, 2 “You must tell the Israelites, ‘Any Israelite or foreigner residing in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Molech must surely be put to death. The people of the land must stone him. 3 I myself will set my face against that man and cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy name. 4 But if the people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives some of his offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, 5 I myself will set my face against that man and his family. I will cut him off, along with all who prostitute themselves by following him in prostituting themselves to Molech, from among their people. 6 If a person turns to mediums or spiritists, prostituting himself by following them, I will set my face against that person and cut him off from among his people. 7 Consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am the LORD your God. 8 You must keep my statutes and carry them out. I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 9 Anyone who curses his father or mother must surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood shall be upon him. 10 If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, if he commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death. 11 If a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12 If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion; their blood shall be upon them. 13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both have committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 14 If a man takes a woman and her mother, it is wickedness. They must burn him and the women in the fire, so that there is no wickedness among you. 15 If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must surely be put to death, and you must kill the animal. 16 If a woman approaches any animal to let it mate with her, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 17 If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace. They shall be cut off in the sight of the members of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his guilt. 18 If a man lies with a woman during her menstruation and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both shall be cut off from among their people. 19 You must not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or your father's sister, for he has laid bare his close relative; they shall bear their guilt. 20 If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21 If a man takes his brother's wife, it is impurity. He has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. 22 You must keep all my statutes and all my ordinances and carry them out, so that the land where I am bringing you to live does not vomit you out. 23 You must not walk in the customs of the nation I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and I abhorred them. 24 I have told 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. 25 You must distinguish between clean and unclean animals, and between unclean and clean birds. Do not make yourselves detestable by animals, birds, or anything that creeps on the ground, which I have set apart as unclean for you. 26 You shall be holy to me, for I, the LORD, am holy. I have separated you from the peoples to be mine. 27 If a man or a woman is a medium or spiritist, they must surely be put to death. They must stone them; their blood shall be upon them.’ ”
