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.
