Penalties for Breaking the Law

1Then theLord spoke to Moses, saying,2“Again, you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘Whoever of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who[a]dwell in Israel, who givesany of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.3I will set My face against that man, and will[b]cut him off from his people, because he has givensome of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name.4And if the people of the land should in any way[c]hide their eyes from the man, when he givessome of his descendants to Molech, and they do not kill him,5then I will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut him off from his people, and all who prostitute themselves with him to commit harlotry with Molech.

6‘And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.7Consecrate[d] yourselves therefore, and be holy, for Iam theLord your God.8And you shall keep My statutes, and perform them: Iam theLord who[e]sanctifies you.

9‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His bloodshall be upon him.

10‘The man who commits adultery withanother man’s wife,he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death.11The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their bloodshall be upon them.12If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed perversion. Their bloodshall be upon them.13If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their bloodshall be upon them.14If a man marries a woman and her mother, itis wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.15If a man mates with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal.16If a woman approaches any animal and mates with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their bloodis upon them.

17‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, itis a wicked thing. And they shall be[f]cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his[g]guilt.18If a man lies with a woman during her[h]sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has[i]exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be[j]cut off from their people.

19‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister nor of your father’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their guilt.20If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.21If a man takes his brother’s wife, itis an[k]unclean thing. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

22‘You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.23And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and therefore I abhor them.24But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.” Iam theLord your God, who has separated you from the peoples.25You shall therefore distinguish between clean animals and unclean, between unclean birds and clean, and you shall not make yourselves[l]abominable by beast or by bird, or by any kind of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as[m]unclean.26And you shall be holy to Me, for I theLordam holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

27‘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 bloodshall be upon them.’ ”
