1. The Lord said to Moses,
2. You will also say to the Israelites: Any Israelite or any immigrant living in Israel who gives their children to Molech must be executed. The common people will stone such a person.
3. Moreover, I will set my own face against such a person, cutting them off from their people, because they gave their children to Molech, making my sanctuary unclean and degrading my holy name by doing so.
4. But if the common people choose to look the other way when someone gives their children to Molech and do not execute such a person,
5. I will set my own face against such a person and their extended family, cutting off from their people—both the guilty party and anyone with them who faithlessly followed Molech.
6. I will also oppose anyone who resorts to dead spirits or spirits of divination and faithlessly follows those things. I will cut such an individual off from their people.
7. You must be holy and keep yourselves holy because I am the Lord your God.
8. You will keep my rules and do them; I am the Lord, who makes you holy.
9. If anyone curses their father or mother, they must be executed. They have cursed their own father and mother; that person’s blood is on their own heads.
10. If a man commits adultery with a married woman, committing adultery with a neighbor’s wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress must be executed.
11. If a man has sexual intercourse with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them must be executed; their blood is on their own heads.
