New International Version

Leviticus 20:3-13 New International Version (NIV)

3. I myself will set my face against him and will cut him off from his people; for by sacrificing his children to Molek, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name.

4. If the members of the community close their eyes when that man sacrifices one of his children to Molek and if they fail to put him to death,

5. I myself will set my face against him and his family and will cut them off from their people together with all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molek.

6. “ ‘I will set my face against anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute themselves by following them, and I will cut them off from their people.

7. “ ‘Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God.

8. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

9. “ ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head.

10. “ ‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.

11. “ ‘If a man has sexual relations with his father’s wife, he has dishonored his father. Both the man and the woman are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

12. “ ‘If a man has sexual relations with his daughter-in-law, both of them are to be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood will be on their own heads.

13. “ ‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
