Leviticus 20:1–11

Molech Worship and Spiritism

20 Thena Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “And to the Israelitesb you shall say, ‘If there is anyonec from the Israelitesd ore from the alien who is dwelling in Israel, who gives any off his offspring to Molech, he must surely be put to death; the people of the land must stone him with stones.g And I myself will set my face against that man, and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he has given some ofh his offspring to Molech, so that he makes my sanctuary uncleani and profanesj my holy name.k And if the people of the land ever shut their eyes froml that man at his giving some ofm his offspring to Molech, not putting him to death, thenn I myself will set my face against that man and against his clan, and I will cut him off and all those from the midst of their people who prostitute after Molech. As foro the person who turns to the mediums and the soothsayers to prostitute after them, I will setp my face against that person, and I will cut him off from the midst of his people.

“ ‘And you shall consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy, because I am Yahweh your God. And you shall keep my statutes, and you shall do them; I am Yahweh who consecrates you.

Family and Sexual Offenses

“ ‘If there is anyoneq who curses his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father and his mother—his blood is upon him.

10 “ ‘As forr a man who commits adultery with a man’s wife, who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the man who commits adultery and the woman who commits adultery shall surely be put to death. 11 As fors a man who lies with his father’s wife, he has exposed his father’s nakedness; both of them shall be put to death—their blood is on them.
