Leviticus Chapter 20

Leviticus Chapter 20
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 Thou shalt say also to the children of
Israel, Whosoever he be of the children
of Israel, or of the strangers that dwell in
Israel, that giveth his children unto
Molech, he shall die the death, the
people of the land shall stone him to
death.
3 And I will set my face against that man
and cut him off from among his people,
because he hath given his children unto
Molech, for to defile my sanctuary, and
to pollute mine holy name.
4 And if the people of the land hide their
eyes, and wink at that man when he
giveth his children unto Molech, and kill
him not,
5 Then will I set my face against that
man, and against his family, and will cut
him off, and all that go a whoring after
him to commit whoredom with Molech,
from among their people.
6 If any turn after such as work with
spirits, and after soothsayers, to go a
whoring after them, then will I 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 the Lord your God. 8 Keep
ye therefore mine ordinances, and do
them. I am the Lord which doth sanctify
you.
9 If there be any that curseth his father
or his mother, he shall die the death:
seeing he hath cursed his father and his
mother, his blood shall be upon him.
10 And the man that committeth adultery
with another man’s wife, because he
hath committed adultery with his
neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall die the death.
11 And the man that lieth with his
father’s wife , because he hath
uncovered his father’s shame, they shall
both die: their blood shall be upon them.
12 Also the man that lieth with his
daughter in law, they both shall die the
death, they have wrought abomination,
their blood shall be upon them. 13 The
man also that lieth with the male, as one
lieth with a woman, they have both
committed abomination: they shall die
the death, their blood shall be upon
them.
14 Likewise he that taketh a wife and her
mother, committeth wickedness: they
shall burn him and them with fire, that
there be no wickedness among you.
15 Also the man that lieth with a beast,
shall die the death, and ye shall slay the
beast.
16 And if a woman come to any beast,
and lie therewith, then thou shalt kill the
woman and the beast: they shall die the
death, their blood shall be upon them.
17 Also the man that taketh his sister, his
father’s daughter, or his mother’s
daughter, and seeth her shame and she
seeth his shame, it is villainy: therefore
they shall be cut off in the sight of their
people, because he hath uncovered his
sister’s shame, he shall bear his iniquity.
18 The man also that lieth with a woman
having her disease, and uncovereth her
shame, and openeth her fountain, and she
open the fountain of her blood, they shall
be even both cut off from among their
people.
19 Moreover thou shalt not uncover the
shame of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy
father’s sister: because he hath
uncovered his kin, they shall bear their
iniquity.
20 Likewise the man that lieth with his
father’s brother’s wife, and uncovereth
his uncle’s shame: they shall bear their
iniquity , and shall die childless. 21 So
the man that taketh his brother’s wife,
committeth filthiness, because he hath
uncovered his brother’s shame: they
shall be childless.
22 Ye shall keep therefore all mine
ordinances and all my judgments, and do
them, that the land, whither I bring you to
dwell therein, spew you not out. 23
Wherefore ye shall not walk in the
manners of this nation which I cast out
before you: for they have committed all
these things, therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said unto you, ye shall
inherit their land, and I will give it unto
you to possess it, even a land that
floweth with milk and honey: I am the
Lord your God, which have separated
you from other people.
25 Therefore shall ye put difference
between clean beasts and unclean, and
between unclean fowls and clean:
neither shall ye defile yourselves with
beasts and fowls, nor with any creeping
thing, that the ground bringeth forth,
which I have separated from you as
unclean.
26 Therefore shall ye be holy unto me:
for I the Lord am holy, and I have
separated you from other people, that ye
should be mine. 27 And if a man or
woman have a spirit of divination, or
soothsaying in them, they shall die the
death: they shall stone them to death,
their blood shall be upon them.
