Leviticus 20:4-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. If the people of the land condone the giving of offspring to Molech, by failing to put the wrongdoer to death,

5. I myself will turn against that individual and his or her family, and I will cut off from their people both the wrongdoer and all who follow this person by prostituting themselves with Molech.

6. Should anyone turn to ghosts and spirits and prostitute oneself with them, I will turn against that person and cut such a one off from among the people.

7. Sanctify yourselves, then, and be holy; for I, the Lord, your God, am holy.

8. Be careful, therefore, to observe my statutes. I, the Lord, make you holy.

9. Anyone who curses father or mother shall be put to death; and having cursed father or mother, such a one will bear the bloodguilt.

10. If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.

11. If a man disgraces his father by lying with his father’s wife, the two of them shall be put to death; their bloodguilt is upon them.

12. If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death; they have done what is perverse; their bloodguilt is upon them.

13. If a man lies with a male as with a woman, they have committed an abomination; the two of them shall be put to death; their bloodguilt is upon them.

14. If a man marries a woman and her mother also, that is shameful conduct; the man and the two women as well shall be burned to death, so that shamefulness may not be found among you.

15. If a man has sexual relations with an animal, the man shall be put to death, and you shall kill the animal.

16. If a woman goes up to any animal to mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall both be put to death; their bloodguilt is upon them.
