1 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

The Lord said to Moses,

2 ` 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;

“Say to the people of Israel, ‘Any man of Israel or of the strangers living in Israel, who gives any of his children to the false god Molech, must be put to death. The people of the land will kill him with stones.

3 a nd 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.

I Myself will go against that man and he will not be numbered among God’s people, because he has given some of his children to Molech, making My holy place sinful and bringing shame on My holy name.

4 ` 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,

If the people of the land close their eyes when a man gives any of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death,

5 t hen 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.

then I Myself will go against that man and his family. They will not be numbered among God’s people, and all who follow him to sell themselves to Molech.

6 ` 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.

‘I will go against the person who turns to those who speak with bad spirits and talk to the dead. In doing this, he sells himself to them. He will not be numbered among God’s people.

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

So you should set yourselves apart and be holy. For I am the Lord your God.

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

Keep My Laws and live by them. I am the Lord Who sets you apart.

9 ` 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.

‘If there is anyone who curses his father or mother, he will for sure be put to death. Because he has cursed his father or mother, his blood will be on his own head.

10 ` 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.

‘If a man does sex sins with another man’s wife, even his friend’s wife, both the sinful man and woman must be put to death.

11 ` 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.

If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has put his father to shame. Both of the guilty ones must be put to death. They will suffer for their own sin.

12 ` 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.

If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. They have done a bad sex sin. They will suffer for their own sin.

13 ` 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.

If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both of them have done a very sinful act. They must be put to death. They will suffer for their own sin.

14 ` 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.

If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is sin. Both he and they will be burned with fire, so this kind of sin will not be among you.

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

If a man lies with an animal, he must be put to death. Kill the animal also.

16 ` 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.

If a woman goes near any animal to have sex with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must be put to death. They will suffer for their own sin.

17 ` 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.

‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s or mother’s daughter, and he sees her without clothes on and she sees him, it is a shame. They will be punished in front of their people. He has taken off his sister’s clothes. He will suffer for his own sin.

18 ` 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.

If a man lies with a woman who has a flow of blood, and takes her clothes off, he has made her flow to show. And she has shown the flow of her blood. So both of them will not be numbered among God’s people.

19 ` 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.

Do not take the clothes off your mother’s sister or father’s sister. For that is putting to shame one of your own family. They will suffer for their own sin.

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

If a man lies with the wife of his father’s or mother’s brother, he has put to shame his father’s or mother’s brother. They will suffer for their own sin. They will die without children.

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

If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is sin. He has put his brother to shame. They will have no children.

22 ` 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;

‘Keep all My Laws and do what I tell you, so the land where I am bringing you to live will not spit you out.

23 a nd 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;

Do not follow the ways of the nation which I am driving out before you. For they did all these things, and so I hated them.

24 a nd 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.

But I have said to you, “Their land will belong to you. I Myself will give it to you for your own, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, Who has set you apart from all other peoples.

25 ` 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;

You are to know the difference between the clean animal and the animal that is unclean, and between the clean bird and the bird that is unclean. Do not make yourselves a sinful people with animal or bird or anything that moves on the ground, which I have set apart from you as being unclean.

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

Be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy. I have divided you from the nations, so you belong to Me.

27 ` 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.'

‘A man or woman who speaks with bad spirits or who talks to the dead must be put to death. They will be killed with stones. They will suffer for their own sin.’”
