1 Y ahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he 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 person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane 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 I f the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death;

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, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.

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 ‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even 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 ‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Yahweh your God.

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

8 Y ou shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

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

¶ 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.

23 Y ou shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

And 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.

24 B ut I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

But 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.

25 ‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

Therefore, 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.

26 Y ou shall be holy to me; for I, Yahweh, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

Ye 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.
