On Human Sacrifice and Immoralities |
|
|
 |
| Leviticus 20:1 |
|
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:2 |
|
"You shall also say to the sons of Israel:
'Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel who gives
any of his offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the
land shall stone him with stones. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 20:3 |
|
I will also set My face against that man and
will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring
to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 20:4 |
|
If the people of the land, however, should ever
disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as not to
put him to death, |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 20:5 |
|
then I Myself will set My face against that
man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him
and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 20:6 |
|
'As for the person who turns to mediums and
to spiritists, to play the harlot after them, I will also set My face against
that person and will cut him off from among his people. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 20:7 |
|
You shall consecrate yourselves therefore and
be holy, for I am the LORD your God. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:8 |
|
You shall keep My statutes and practice them;
I am the LORD who sanctifies you. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:9 |
|
'If there is anyone who curses his father or
his mother, he shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother,
his bloodguiltiness is upon him. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:10 |
|
'If there is a man who commits adultery with
another man's wife, one who commits adultery with his friend's wife, the adulterer
and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:11 |
|
If there is a man who lies with his father's
wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put
to death, their bloodguiltiness is upon them. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:12 |
|
If there is a man who lies with his daughter-in-law,
both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness
is upon them. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:13 |
|
If there is a man who lies with a male as those
who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall
surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:14 |
|
If there is a man who marries a woman and her
mother, it is immorality; both he and they shall be burned with fire, so that
there will be no immorality in your midst. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:15 |
|
If there is a man who lies with an animal,
he shall surely be put to death; you shall also kill the animal. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:16 |
|
If there is a woman who approaches any animal
to mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be
put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:17 |
|
'If there is a man who takes his sister, his
father's daughter or his mother's daughter, so that he sees her nakedness and
she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off in the sight
of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he bears
his guilt. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:18 |
|
If there is a man who lies with a menstruous
woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has exposed
the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people. |
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:19 |
|
You shall also not uncover the nakedness of
your mother's sister or of your father's sister, for such a one has made naked
his blood relative; they will bear their guilt. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 20:20 |
|
If there is a man who lies with his uncle's
wife he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will
die childless. |
| |
|
|
| Leviticus 20:21 |
|
If there is a man who takes his brother's wife,
it is abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They will be childless. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:22 |
|
'You are therefore to keep all My statutes
and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land to which I am bringing you
to live will not spew you out. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:23 |
|
Moreover, you shall not follow the customs
of the nation which I will drive out before you, for they did all these things,
and therefore I have abhorred them. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:24 |
|
Hence I have said to you, "You are to possess
their land, and I Myself will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with
milk and honey." I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:25 |
|
You are therefore to make a distinction between
the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean;
and you shall not make yourselves detestable by animal or by bird or by anything
that creeps on the ground, which I have separated for you as unclean. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:26 |
|
Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD
am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine. |
|
|
|
|
| Leviticus 20:27 |
|
'Now a man or a woman who is a medium or a
spiritist shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones, their
bloodguiltiness is upon them.'" |
