1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Say to the people of Israel, Any man of the people of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his children to Molech shall be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3I myself will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy name. 4And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death, 5then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in playing the harlot after Molech.

6“If a person turns to mediums and wizards, playing the harlot after them, I will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people. 7Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the Lord your God. 8Keep my statutes, and do them; I am the Lord who sanctify you. 9For every one who curses his father or his mother shall be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother, his blood is upon him.

10“If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death. 11The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall be put to death, their blood is upon them. 12If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death; they have committed incest, their blood is upon them. 13If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them. 14If a man takes a wife and her mother also, it is wickedness; they shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you. 15If a man lies with a beast, he shall be put to death; and you shall kill the beast. 16If a woman approaches any beast and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast; they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them.
