Leviticus 20:6–27

⁶‘And ^ethe person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people. ^7fConsecrate ⁴yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God. ⁸And you shall keep ^gMy statutes, and perform them: ^hI am the Lord who ⁵sanctifies you.

⁹‘For ⁱeveryone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. ^jHis blood shall be upon him.

^10k‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death. ¹¹The man who lies with his ^lfather’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. ¹²If a man lies with his ^mdaughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed perversion. Their blood shall be upon them. ¹³ⁿIf a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. ¹⁴If a man marries a woman and her ^omother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you. ¹⁵If a man mates with an ^panimal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. ¹⁶If a woman approaches any animal and mates with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood is upon them.

¹⁷‘If a man takes his ^qsister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a wicked thing. And they shall be ⁶cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his ⁷guilt. ^18rIf a man lies with a woman during her ⁸sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has ⁹exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be ¹cut off from their people.

¹⁹‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your ^smother’s sister nor of your ^tfather’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their guilt. ²⁰If a man lies with his ^uuncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. ²¹If a man takes his ^vbrother’s wife, it is an ²unclean thing. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

²²‘You shall therefore keep all My ^wstatutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell ^xmay not vomit you out. ^23yAnd you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and ^ztherefore I abhor them. ²⁴But ^aI have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, ^bwho has separated you from the peoples. ^25cYou shall therefore distinguish between clean animals and unclean, between unclean birds and clean, ^dand you shall not make yourselves ³abominable by beast or by bird, or by any kind of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as ⁴unclean. ²⁶And you shall be holy to Me, ^efor I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

^27f‘A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.’ ”
