Leviticus 20




1.  And the LORD spake * unto Moses,saying * ,

2.  Again, 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 * any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely * be put to death * : the people of the land shall stone * him with stones.

3.  And I 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 of the land do any ways * hide * their eyes from the man, when he giveth * of his seed unto Molech, and kill * him not:

5.  Then I will 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.  And the soul that turneth * after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring * 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 the LORD your God.

8.  And ye shall keep * my statutes, and do * them: I am the LORD which sanctify * you.

9.  For every one that curseth * his father or his mother shall be surely * 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 neighbour'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.  If a man also lie * with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed * an 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 wicked thing; and they shall be cut off * in the sight 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 discovered * 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 uncovereth * 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 an unclean thing: he hath uncovered * his brother's nakedness;they shall be childless.

22.  Ye shall therefore keep * all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do * them: that the land, whither I bring * you to dwell * therein, spue you not out * .

23.  And ye shall not walk * in the manners of the nation, which I cast out * before you: for they committed * 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 that floweth * with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated * you from other people.

25.  Ye shall therefore put difference * between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable * by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth * on the ground, which I have separated * from you as unclean * .

26.  And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed * you from other people, that ye should be mine.

27.  A man also or 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.
