[1]Andthe Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
[2]Thoushalt say also to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that dwell in Israel, that giveth his children unto Molech, he shall die the death, the people of the land shall stone him to death.
[3]AndI will set my face against that man and cut him off from among his people, because he hath given his children unto Molech, for to defile my sanctuary, and to pollute mine holy name.
[4]Andif the people of the land hide their eyes, and wink at that man when he giveth his children unto Molech, and kill him not,
[5]Thenwill I set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
[6]Ifany turn after such as work with spirits, and after soothsayers, to go a whoring after them, then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
[7]Sanctifyyourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.
[8]Keepye therefore mine ordinances, and do them. I am the Lord which doth sanctify you.
[9]Ifthere be any that curseth his father or his mother, he shall die the death: seeing he hath cursed his father and his mother, his blood shall be upon him.
[10]Andthe man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, because he hath committed adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall die the death.
[11]Andthe man that lieth with his father's wife , because he hath uncovered his father's shame, they shall both die: their blood shall be upon them.
[12]Alsothe man that lieth with his daughter in law, they both shall die the death, they have wrought abomination, their blood shall be upon them.
[13]Theman also that lieth with the male, as one lieth with a woman, they have both committed abomination: they shall die the death, their blood shall be upon them.
[14]Likewisehe that taketh a wife and her mother, committeth wickedness: they shall burn him and them with fire, that there be no wickedness among you.
[15]Alsothe man that lieth with a beast, shall die the death, and ye shall slay the beast.
[16]Andif a woman come to any beast, and lie therewith, then thou shalt kill the woman and the beast: they shall die the death, their blood shall be upon them.
[17]Alsothe man that taketh his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and seeth her shame and she seeth his shame, it is villainy: therefore they shall be cut off in the sight of their people, because he hath uncovered his sister's shame, he shall bear his iniquity.
[18]Theman also that lieth with a woman having her disease, and uncovereth her shame, and openeth her fountain, and she open the fountain of her blood, they shall be even both cut off from among their people.
[19]Moreoverthou shalt not uncover the shame of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: because he hath uncovered his kin, they shall bear their iniquity.
[20]Likewisethe man that lieth with his father's brother's wife, and uncovereth his uncle's shame: they shall bear their iniquity , and shall die childless.
[21]Sothe man that taketh his brother's wife, committeth filthiness, because he hath uncovered his brother's shame: they shall be childless.
[22]Yeshall keep therefore all mine ordinances and all my judgments, and do them, that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spew you not out.
[23]Whereforeye shall not walk in the manners of this nation which I cast out before you: for they have committed all these things, therefore I abhorred them.
[24]ButI have said unto you, ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, even a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people.
[25]Thereforeshall ye put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: neither shall ye defile yourselves with beasts and fowls, nor with any creeping thing, that the ground bringeth forth, which I have separated from you as unclean.
[26]Thereforeshall ye be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and I have separated you from other people, that ye should be mine.
[27]Andif a man or woman have a spirit of divination, or soothsaying in them, they shall die the death: they shall stone them to death, their blood shall be upon them.
