Leviticus 20:26

26 And you shall be holy to Me, ^afor I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

27 ^a‘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.’ ”
