1 A nd the Lord said to Moses,

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 M oreover, you shall say to the Israelites, Any one of the Israelites or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

Likewise, thou shalt say to the sons of Israel, Any man of the sons of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel that gives any of his seed unto Molech shall surely die; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3 I also will set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his children to Molech, defiling My sanctuary and profaning My holy name.

And I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed unto Molech, contaminating my sanctuary and defiling my holy name.

4 A nd if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from the man when he gives one of his children to Molech and they overlook it or neglect to take legal action to punish him, winking at his sin, and do not kill him,

And if the people of the land should hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed unto Molech, to not kill him,

5 T hen I will set My face against that man and against his family and will cut him off from among their people, him and all who follow him to play the harlot after Molech.

then I will set my face against that man and against his family and will cut him off with all those that fornicated after him, prostituting themselves after Molech.

6 T he person who turns to those who have familiar spirits and to wizards, playing the harlot after them, I will set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

And the person that turns after spiritists or after diviners to prostitute themselves after them, I will even set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

7 C onsecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the Lord your God.

Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be ye holy, for I am the LORD your God.

8 A nd you shall keep My statutes and do them. I am the Lord Who sanctifies you.

And keep my statutes and do them. I AM he who sanctifies you.
