1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 L ikewise, 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.

`And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do stone him with stones;

3 A nd 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.

and I -- I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute My holy name.

4 A nd 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,

`And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,

5 t hen 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.

then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.

6 A nd 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.

`And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.

7 S anctify yourselves, therefore, and be ye holy, for I am the LORD your God.

`And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I Jehovah your God;

8 A nd keep my statutes and do them. I AM he who sanctifies you.

and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I Jehovah, sanctifying you.

9 F or any man that curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

`For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood on him.

10 ¶ And the man that commits adultery with another man’s wife, he that commits adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely die.

`And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife -- who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour -- the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.

11 A nd the man that lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely die; their blood shall be upon them.

`And a man who lieth with his father's wife -- the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered -- both of them are certainly put to death; their blood on them.

12 A nd if a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought mixture; their blood shall be upon them.

`And a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law -- both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood on them.

13 I f a man shall join himself with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

`And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood on them.

14 A nd if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness; they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

`And a man who taketh the woman and her mother -- it wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.

15 A nd if a man copulates with a beast, he shall surely be put to death, and ye shall slay the beast.

`And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.

16 A nd if a woman approaches any animal, to join herself with it, thou shalt kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon themselves.

`And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it -- thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood on them.

17 A nd if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be killed in the sight of the sons of their people; he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

`And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.

18 A nd if a man shall lie with a woman having her menstruation and shall uncover her nakedness, he has discovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood; both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

`And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, -- even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.

19 T hou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister; for he uncovers his near kin; they shall bear their iniquity.

`And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.

20 A nd if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

`And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.

21 A nd if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing; he has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.

`And a man who taketh his brother's wife -- it impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.

22 ¶ Keep, therefore, all my statutes and all my rights and do them, and the land where I bring you to dwell therein will not vomit you out.

`And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it;

23 A nd ye shall not walk in the practices of the Gentiles which I shall cast out before you; for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;

24 B ut I have said unto you, Ye shall possess their land, and I will give it unto you in possession of inheritance, a land that flows with milk and honey. I AM your God, who have separated you from the other peoples.

and I say to you, Ye -- ye do possess their ground, and I -- I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples.

25 T herefore, ye shall differentiate between clean animals and unclean and between unclean fowls and clean; and ye shall not defile your persons by animals or by fowl or by any manner of living thing that moves on the ground which I have separated from you as unclean.

`And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth the ground which I have separated to you for unclean;

26 Y e must, therefore, be holy unto me, for I the LORD am holy and have separated you from the other peoples, that ye should be mine.

and ye have been holy to Me; for holy I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.

27 A nd the man or the woman that consults with spiritists, or that is a diviner, shall surely die; they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.

`And a man or woman -- when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who wizards -- are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood on them.'
