1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Say to the Israelites: Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death; the people of the country are to stone him.
3. I will turn against that man and cut him off from his people, because he gave his offspring to Molech, defiling My sanctuary and profaning My holy name.
4. But if the people of the country look the other way when that man gives any of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death,
5. then I will turn against that man and his family, and cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.
6. “Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists and prostitutes himself with them, I will turn against that person and cut him off from his people.
7. Consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am Yahweh your God.
8. Keep My statutes and do them; I am Yahweh who sets you apart.
9. “If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood is on his own hands.
10. If a man commits adultery with a married woman — if he commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife — both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
11. If a man sleeps with his father’s wife, he has shamed his father. Both of them must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.
12. If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is on their own hands.
13. If a man sleeps with a man as with a woman, they have both committed a detestable thing. They must be put to death; their blood is on their own hands.
14. If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned with fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.
15. If a man has sexual intercourse with an animal, he must be put to death; you are also to kill the animal.
