1. Adonai spoke to Moses saying:
2. “Moreover, you are to tell Bnei-Yisrael: Anyone from Bnei-Yisrael or from the outsiders dwelling in Israel, who gives any of his children to Molech, should surely be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him with rocks.
3. I also will set My face against such a person and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given his children to Molech, defiling My Sanctuary and profaning My holy Name.
4. But if the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and do not put him to death,
5. then I will set My face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, along with all who play the prostitute after him with Molech, from among their people.
6. “The soul that turns to mediums or to soothsayers, prostituting himself with them, I will set My face against that soul and will cut him off from among his people.
7. So consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am Adonai your God.
8. You are to keep My statutes, and do them. I am Adonai who sanctifies you.
9. “Any man who curses his father or his mother should surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother, and his blood should be on him.
