Leviticus

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 neighbour'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.
