* Jehovah continued to speak to Moses : * »Tell the Israelites : ‘If Israelites or foreigners living among you give one of their children as a sacrifice to the god Molech , they must be put to death . The common people must stone them to death . * »‘I will condemn them and exclude them from the people . They gave one of their children to Molech . They made my holy tent unclean , and dishonored my holy name . * »‘If the people of the land ignore those who give their children to Molech and do not put them to death , * »‘I will condemn them and their families . I will exclude them from the people . I will exclude from the people everyone who chases after Molech as if he were a prostitute . * »‘If any of you go for advice to people who consult the spirits of the dead , I will turn against you and will no longer consider you one of my people . * »‘Keep yourselves holy , because I am Jehovah your God ! * »‘Obey my laws , because I am Jehovah and I make you holy . * »‘Jehovah gave the following regulations . Any of you that curse your father or mother shall be put to death . You are responsible for your own death . * »‘If a man commits adultery with the wife of an Israelite , both he and the woman should be put to death . * »‘A man who has intercourse with one of his father 's wives disgraces his father . Both he and the woman must be put to death . They are responsible for their own death . * »‘If a man has sexual intercourse with his daughter-in-law , both of them must be put to death . They have done a disgusting thing and deserve to die . * »‘When a man has sexual intercourse with another man as with a woman , both men are doing something disgusting and must be put to death . They deserve to die ! * »‘When a man marries a woman and her mother , they have done a perverted thing . The man and the two women must be burned . Never do this perverted thing . * »‘If a man has sexual relations with an animal , he and the animal must be put to death . * »‘If a woman tries to have sexual relations with an animal , she and the animal must be put to death . They are responsible for their own death . * »‘If a man marries his sister or half sister , they must be publicly disgraced and driven out of the community . He has had intercourse with his sister and must suffer the consequences . * »‘If a man has intercourse with a woman during her monthly period , both of them are to be driven out of the community , because they have broken the regulations about ritual uncleanness . * »‘When a man has intercourse with his aunt , both of them must suffer the consequences for incest . * »‘Whoever has sexual intercourse with his uncle 's wife violates his uncle 's marriage . That man and woman are guilty of sin . They will die without children . * »‘He who marries his brother 's wife violates his brother 's marriage and does an unclean thing . That man and woman will have no children . * »‘If you carefully obey all my laws and my rules , the land I am bringing you to live in will not vomit you out . * »‘The nations I am chasing out did these disgusting things . I hated them for it ! So do not follow their example . * »‘I am Jehovah your God . I have promised you their land that is rich with milk and honey . I have chosen you to be different from other people . * »‘That is why you must make a difference between animals and birds that I have said are clean and unclean . This will keep you from becoming disgusting to me . * »‘I am Jehovah , the Holy God . You have been chosen to be my people , and so you must be holy too . * »‘If you claim to receive messages from the dead , you will be put to death by stoning , just as you deserve .
