Chapter 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 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 | 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. |
