Leviticus 20:1-7 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2. “And to the Israelites you shall say, ‘If there is anyone from the Israelites or from the alien who is dwelling in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech, he must surely be put to death; the people of the land must stone him with stones.

3. And I myself will set my face against that man, and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so that he makes my sanctuary unclean and profanes my holy name.

4. And if the people of the land ever shut their eyes from that man at his giving some of his offspring to Molech, not putting him to death,

5. then I myself will set my face against that man and against his clan, and I will cut him off and all those from the midst of their people who prostitute after Molech.

6. As for the person who turns to the mediums and the soothsayers to prostitute after them, I will set my face against that person, and I will cut him off from the midst of his people.

7. “ ‘And you shall consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy, because I am Yahweh your God.
