Leviticus 20
1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 haec loqueris filiis Israhel homo de filiis Israhel et de advenis qui habitant in Israhel si quis dederit de semine suo idolo Moloch morte moriatur populus terrae lapidabit eum
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him.
3 et ego ponam faciem meam contra illum succidamque eum de medio populi sui eo quod dederit de semine suo Moloch et contaminaverit sanctuarium meum ac polluerit nomen sanctum meum
And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech, he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.
4 quod si neglegens populus terrae et quasi parvipendens imperium meum dimiserit hominem qui dederit de semine suo Moloch nec voluerit eum occidere
And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,
5 ponam faciem meam super hominem illum et cognationem eius succidamque et ipsum et omnes qui consenserunt ei ut fornicarentur cum Moloch de medio populi sui
then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 anima quae declinaverit ad magos et ariolos et fornicata fuerit cum eis ponam faciem meam contra eam et interficiam illam de medio populi sui
Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.
7 sanctificamini et estote sancti quia ego Dominus Deus vester
Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.
8 custodite praecepta mea et facite ea ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos
And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
9 qui maledixerit patri suo et matri morte moriatur patri matrique maledixit sanguis eius sit super eum
If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 si moechatus quis fuerit cum uxore alterius et adulterium perpetrarit cum coniuge proximi sui morte moriantur et moechus et adultera
If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.
11 qui dormierit cum noverca sua et revelaverit ignominiam patris sui morte moriantur ambo sanguis eorum sit super eos
If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
12 si quis dormierit cum nuru sua uterque moriantur quia scelus operati sunt sanguis eorum sit super eos
If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.
13 qui dormierit cum masculo coitu femineo uterque operati sunt nefas morte moriantur sit sanguis eorum super eos
If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
14 qui supra uxorem filiam duxerit matrem eius scelus operatus est vivus ardebit cum eis nec permanebit tantum nefas in medio vestri
If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.
15 qui cum iumento et pecore coierit morte moriatur pecus quoque occidite
If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.
16 mulier quae subcubuerit cuilibet iumento simul interficietur cum eo sanguis eorum sit super eos
If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
17 qui acceperit sororem suam filiam patris sui vel filiam matris suae et viderit turpitudinem eius illaque conspexerit fratris ignominiam nefariam rem operati sunt occidentur in conspectu populi sui eo quod turpitudinem suam mutuo revelarint et portabunt iniquitatem suam
If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 qui coierit cum muliere in fluxu menstruo et revelaverit turpitudinem eius ipsaque aperuerit fontem sanguinis sui interficientur ambo de medio populi sui
If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.
19 turpitudinem materterae tuae et amitae tuae non discoperies qui hoc fecerit ignominiam carnis suae nudavit portabunt ambo iniquitatem suam
You must not have sexual relations with the sister of your mother or your father, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.
20 qui coierit cum uxore patrui vel avunculi sui et revelaverit ignominiam cognationis suae portabunt ambo peccatum suum absque liberis morientur
If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle. They will bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 qui duxerit uxorem fratris sui rem facit inlicitam turpitudinem fratris sui revelavit absque filiis erunt
If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.
22 custodite leges meas atque iudicia et facite ea ne et vos evomat terra quam intraturi estis et habitaturi
You are therefore to keep all My statutes and ordinances, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.
23 nolite ambulare in legitimis nationum quas ego expulsurus sum ante vos omnia enim haec fecerunt et abominatus sum eos
You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
24 vobis autem loquor possidete terram eorum quam dabo vobis in hereditatem terram fluentem lacte et melle ego Dominus Deus vester qui separavi vos a ceteris populis
But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.
25 separate ergo et vos iumentum mundum ab inmundo et avem mundam ab inmunda ne polluatis animas vestras in pecore et in avibus et cunctis quae moventur in terra et quae vobis ostendi esse polluta
You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.
26 eritis sancti mihi quia sanctus ego sum Dominus et separavi vos a ceteris populis ut essetis mei
You are to be holy to Me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.
27 vir sive mulier in quibus pythonicus vel divinationis fuerit spiritus morte moriantur lapidibus obruent eos sanguis eorum sit super illos
A man or a woman who is a medium or spiritist must surely be put to death. They shall be stoned; their blood is upon them.’”
