Leviticus 20

1   And the LORD * h3068 spake * h1696 h8762 unto Moses * h4872, saying * h559 h8800,

2   Again, thou shalt say * h559 h8799 to the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, Whosoever * h376 he be of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, or of the strangers * h1616 that sojourn * h1481 h8802 in Israel * h3478, that giveth * h5414 h8799 any of his seed * h2233 unto Molech * h4432; he shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714: the people * h5971 of the land * h776 shall stone * h7275 h8799 him with stones * h68.

3   And I will set * h5414 h8799 my face * h6440 against that man * h376, and will cut him off * h3772 h8689 from among * h7130 his people * h5971; because he hath given * h5414 h8804 of his seed * h2233 unto Molech * h4432, to defile * h2930 h8763 my sanctuary * h4720, and to profane * h2490 h8763 my holy * h6944 name * h8034.

4   And if the people * h5971 of the land * h776 do any ways * h5956 h8687 hide * h5956 h8686 their eyes * h5869 from the man * h376, when he giveth * h5414 h8800 of his seed * h2233 unto Molech * h4432, and kill * h4191 h8687 him not * h1115:

5   Then I will set * h7760 h8804 my face * h6440 against that man * h376, and against his family * h4940, and will cut him off * h3772 h8689, and all that go a whoring * h2181 h8802 after * h310 him, to commit whoredom * h2181 h8800 with Molech * h4432, from among * h7130 their people * h5971.

6   And the soul * h5315 that turneth * h6437 h8799 after * h413 such as have familiar spirits * h178, and after * h310 wizards * h3049, to go a whoring * h2181 h8800 after * h310 them, I will even set * h5414 h8804 my face * h6440 against that soul * h5315, and will cut him off * h3772 h8689 from among * h7130 his people * h5971.

7   Sanctify * h6942 h8694 yourselves therefore, and be ye holy * h6918: for I am the LORD * h3068 your God * h430.

8   And ye shall keep * h8104 h8804 my statutes * h2708, and do * h6213 h8804 them: I am the LORD * h3068 which sanctify * h6942 h8764 you.

9   For every * h376 one * h376 that curseth * h7043 h8762 his father * h1 or his mother * h517 shall be surely * h4191 h8800 put to death * h4191 h8714: he hath cursed * h7043 h8765 his father * h1 or his mother * h517; his blood * h1818 shall be upon him.

10   And the man * h376 that committeth adultery * h5003 h8799 with another man's * h376 wife * h802, even he that committeth adultery * h5003 h8799 with his neighbour's * h7453 wife * h802, the adulterer * h5003 h8802 and the adulteress * h5003 h8802 shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714.

11   And the man * h376 that lieth * h7901 h8799 with his father's * h1 wife * h802 hath uncovered * h1540 h8765 his father's * h1 nakedness * h6172: both * h8147 of them shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714; their blood * h1818 shall be upon them.

12   And if a man * h376 lie * h7901 h8799 with his daughter in law * h3618, both * h8147 of them shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714: they have wrought * h6213 h8804 confusion * h8397; their blood * h1818 shall be upon them.

13   If a man * h376 also lie * h7901 h8799 with mankind * h2145, as he lieth * h4904 with a woman * h802, both * h8147 of them have committed * h6213 h8804 an abomination * h8441: they shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714; their blood * h1818 shall be upon them.

14   And if a man * h376 take * h3947 h8799 a wife * h802 and her mother * h517, it is wickedness * h2154: they shall be burnt * h8313 h8799 with fire * h784, both he and they; that there be no wickedness * h2154 among * h8432 you.

15   And if a man * h376 lie * h5414 h8799 * h7903 with a beast * h929, he shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714: and ye shall slay * h2026 h8799 the beast * h929.

16   And if a woman * h802 approach * h7126 h8799 unto any beast * h929, and lie down * h7250 h8800 thereto, thou shalt kill * h2026 h8804 the woman * h802, and the beast * h929: they shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714; their blood * h1818 shall be upon them.

17   And if a man * h376 shall take * h3947 h8799 his sister * h269, his father's * h1 daughter * h1323, or * h176 his mother's * h517 daughter * h1323, and see * h7200 h8804 her nakedness * h6172, and she see * h7200 h8799 his nakedness * h6172; it is a wicked thing * h2617; and they shall be cut off * h3772 h8738 in the sight * h5869 of their people * h5971 * h1121: he hath uncovered * h1540 h8765 his sister's * h269 nakedness * h6172; he shall bear * h5375 h8799 his iniquity * h5771.

18   And if a man * h376 shall lie * h7901 h8799 with a woman * h802 having her sickness * h1739, and shall uncover * h1540 h8765 her nakedness * h6172; he hath discovered * h6168 h8689 her fountain * h4726, and she hath uncovered * h1540 h8765 the fountain * h4726 of her blood * h1818: and both * h8147 of them shall be cut off * h3772 h8738 from among * h7130 their people * h5971. discovered: Heb. made naked

19   And thou shalt not uncover * h1540 h8762 the nakedness * h6172 of thy mother's * h517 sister * h269, nor of thy father's * h1 sister * h269: for he uncovereth * h6168 h8689 his near kin * h7607: they shall bear * h5375 h8799 their iniquity * h5771. uncovereth: Heb. hath made naked

20   And if a man * h376 shall lie * h7901 h8799 with his uncle's wife * h1733, he hath uncovered * h1540 h8765 his uncle's * h1730 nakedness * h6172: they shall bear * h5375 h8799 their sin * h2399; they shall die * h4191 h8799 childless * h6185.

21   And if a man * h376 shall take * h3947 h8799 his brother's * h251 wife * h802, it is an unclean thing * h5079: he hath uncovered * h1540 h8765 his brother's * h251 nakedness * h6172; they shall be childless * h6185. an...: Heb. a separation

22   Ye shall therefore keep * h8104 h8804 all my statutes * h2708, and all my judgments * h4941, and do * h6213 h8804 them: that the land * h776, whither I bring * h935 h8688 you to dwell * h3427 h8800 therein, spue you not out * h6958 h8686.

23   And ye shall not walk * h3212 h8799 in the manners * h2708 of the nation * h1471, which I cast out * h7971 h8764 before * h6440 you: for they committed * h6213 h8804 all these things, and therefore I abhorred * h6973 h8799 them.

24   But I have said * h559 h8799 unto you, Ye shall inherit * h3423 h8799 their land * h127, and I will give * h5414 h8799 it unto you to possess * h3423 h8800 it, a land * h776 that floweth * h2100 h8802 with milk * h2461 and honey * h1706: I am the LORD * h3068 your God * h430, which have separated * h914 h8689 you from other people * h5971.

25   Ye shall therefore put difference * h914 h8689 between clean * h2889 beasts * h929 and unclean * h2931, and between unclean * h2931 fowls * h5775 and clean * h2889: and ye shall not make your souls * h5315 abominable * h8262 h8762 by beast * h929, or by fowl * h5775, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth * h7430 h8799 on the ground * h127, which I have separated * h914 h8689 from you as unclean * h2930 h8763. creepeth: or, moveth

26   And ye shall be holy * h6918 unto me: for I the LORD * h3068 am holy * h6918, and have severed * h914 h8686 you from other people * h5971, that ye should be mine.

27   A man * h376 also or woman * h802 that hath * h3588 a familiar spirit * h178, or that is a wizard * h3049, shall surely * h4191 h8800 be put to death * h4191 h8714: they shall stone * h7275 h8799 them with stones * h68: their blood * h1818 shall be upon them.
