Leviticus:20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Yahweh spake unto Moses ,
saying :
*
Unto the sons of Israel ,
therefore shalt thou say ,
What man soever ,
there may be of the sons of Israel ,
or of the sojourners that sojourn in Israel ,
that giveth of his seed unto Molech ,
he shall ,
surely be put to death ,
the people of the land shall stone him with stones ;
*
I ,
also ,
will set my face against that man ,
and will cut him off out of the midst of his people ,
because of his seed ,
hath he given unto Molech ,
seeing that he hath made unclean my sanctuary ,
even to the extent of profaning my holy name .
*
But ,
if the people of the land ,
do even hide ,
their eyes from that man ,
when he giveth of his seed unto Molech ,
so as not to put him to death ,
*
then will I myself ,
set my face against that man ,
and against his family ,
and will cut him off ,
and all that follow unchastely after himin going unchastely after Molechout of the midst of their people .
*
The person also that turneth unto mediums and unto oracles ,
in going unchastely after them ,
then will I set my face against that person ,
and will cut him off out of the midst of his people .
*
Therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and be holy ,
Because IYahweh ,
am your God .
*
Therefore shall ye observe my statutes ,
and do them ,
IYahweh ,
am he that is hallowing you .
*
When ,
any man whatsoever ,
curseth his father or his mother ,
he shall surely be put to death ,
his father or his mother ,
hath he cursed ,
his blood ,
shall be upon himself .
*
And ,
any man ,
who committeth adultery with the wife of any other man ,
he that committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour shall surely be put to deaththe adulterer ,
and the adulteress .
*
And any man who lieth with his fathers wife ,
the shame of his father ,
hath uncovered ,
they both shall ,
surely be put to deaththeir blood shall be upon themselves .
*
And any man who lieth with his daughter-in-law ,
they both shall ,
surely be put to death ,
confusion ,
have they wroughttheir blood shall be upon themselves .
*
And any man who lieth with mankind as with womankind ,
an abomination ,
have both of them wrought ,
they shall ,
surely be put to death ,
their blood ,
shall be upon themselves .
*
And ,
any man ,
who taketh a woman and her mother ,
wickedness ,
it is ,
in fire ,
shall both he and they be consumed ,
that wickedness be not in your midst .
*
And ,
any man ,
who hath carnal knowledge of a beast ,
shall ,
surely be put to death ,
and ,
the beast ,
shall ye slay .
*
And ,
a woman ,
who approacheth unto any beast ,
to couch down thereto ,
then shalt thou slay the woman and the beast ,
they shall surely be put to death ,
their blood ,
shall be upon themselves .
*
And ,
any man ,
who taketh his sisterhis fathers daughter or his mothers daughter ,
and vieweth her shame ,
and ,

vieweth his shame ,
a disgrace ,
it is ,

hath he uncoveredhis iniquity ,
shall he bear .
*
And ,
any man ,
who lieth with a woman having her sickness ,
and uncovereth her shame ,

also hath uncovered her fountain of blood ,

or of thy fathers sister ,
shalt thou not uncover ,
for his near of kin ,
hath he exposedtheir iniquity ,

and do them ,
So shall the land whereinto I am bringing you to dwell therein ,
not vomit you forth ;
*
So shall ye not walk in thestatutes of the nations ,
which I am casting out from before you ,
For all these things ,
had they done ,
Therefore I abhorred them ;
*
And said unto you Ye ,
shall possess their soil ,
Yea ,
I myself ,
will give it you to possess it ,
A land flowing with milk and honey ,
IYahweh ,
am your God ,
who have distinguished you from the peoples ;
*
Therefore shall ye make a distinction Between the clean beasts ,
and the unclean ,
And between the unclean birds and the clean ,
So shall ye not make your persons abominable with beast ,
or with bird or with anything which creepeth upon the ground ,
which I have distinguished for you ,
as unclean .
*
Therefore shall ye be unto me ,
holy persons ,
for ,

IYahweh ,
Therefore have I distinguished you from the peoples ,
that ye may be mine .

And as touching man or woman ,
when there shall be in them a familiar spirit ,
or the spirit of an circle ,
they shall ,
surely be put to death ,
with stones ,
