20:1   Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

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 receive the death sentence; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

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.

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,

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.

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.

20:7   'You shall consecrate yourselves therefore and become holy, for I proclaim Myself as the LORD your God.

20:8   ' You shall keep My statutes and practice them; I proclaim Myself as the LORD who sanctifies you.

20:9   ' If anyone curses his father or his mother, he shall surely receive the death penalty; he has cursed his father or his mother, his bloodguiltiness will come upon him.

20:10   ' If 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 receive the death penalty.

20:11  ' If a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely receive the death penalty, their bloodguiltiness will come upon them.

20:12   ' If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely receive the death penalty; they have committed incest, their bloodguiltiness will come upon them.

20:13  ' If a man lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely receive the death penalty. Their bloodguiltiness will come upon them.

20:14   ' If a man marries a woman and her mother, it counts as immorality; both he and they shall burn with fire, so that there will exist no immorality in your midst.

20:15   ' If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely receive the death penalty; you shall also kill the animal.

20:16   'If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely receive the death penalty. Their bloodguiltiness has come upon them.

20:17  ' If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, so that he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, you will consider it a disgrace; and they shall become cut off in the sight of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he bears his guilt.

20:18  ' If a man 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 cut themselves off from among their people.

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.

20:20   ' If 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.

20:21   ' If a man takes his brother's wife, it has become abhorrent; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They will remain childless.

20:22   'You should therefore keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land to which I bring you to live will not spew you out.

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.

20:24  'Hence I have said to you, " You will possess their land, and I Myself will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey " I proclaim myself as the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

20:25  ' You must therefore 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.

20:26   'Thus you must become holy to Me, for I the LORD consist of holiness; and I have set you apart from the peoples to belong to Me.

20:27  'Now a man or a woman who serves as a medium or a spiritist shall surely receive the death penalty. You shall stone them with stones, their bloodguiltiness has come upon them.'"
