Leviticus 20:1-10 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

1. And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2. Again, you shall say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that gives any of his children unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3. And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his children unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

4. And if the people of the land do in any way hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his children unto Molech, and kill him not:

5. Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that play the harlot with him, to commit harlotry

6. And the soul that turns after mediums, and after wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

7. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be you holy: for I am the LORD your God.

8. And you shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

9. For every one that curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

10. And the man that commits adultery with another man's wife, even he that commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
