| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Moreover, thou shalt
say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or
of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech;
he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with
stones. 3 I also will set my face against that man, and will cut him off
from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to
defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people at
the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed
unto Molech, and put him not to death; 5 then I will set my face against
that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that play the
harlot after him, to play the harlot with Molech, from among their people.
6 And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto
the wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face against
that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 7 Sanctify
yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am Jehovah your God. 8 And ye
shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you.
9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put
to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon
him.
10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he
that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 And the man that lieth with
his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall
surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12 And if a man
lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they
have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. 13 And if a man
lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination:
they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 14 And
if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt
with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. 15 And
if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay
the beast. 16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down
thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put
to death; their blood shall be upon them.
17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his
mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a
shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of
their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his
iniquity. 18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and
shall uncover her nakedness; he hath made naked her fountain, and she hath
uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from
among their people. 19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy
mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister; for he hath made naked his near
kin: they shall bear their iniquity. 20 And if a man shall lie with his
uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their
sin; they shall die childless. 21 And if a man shall take his brother's
wife, it is impurity: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall
be childless.
22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and
do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, vomit you not
out. 23 And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast
out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give
it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah
your God, who hath separated you from the peoples. 25 Ye shall therefore
make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the
unclean fowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by
beast, or by bird, or by anything wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have
separated from you as unclean. 26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I,
Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be
mine.
27 A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard,
shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood
shall be upon them.
