Leviticus 20:3

20:3 I myself will set my face ¹  against that man and cut him off from the midst of his people, ²  because he has given some of his children to Molech and thereby defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. ³ 

Leviticus 20:6

Prohibition against Spiritists and Mediums ⁴ 

20:6 “‘The person who turns to the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits ⁵  to commit prostitution by going after them, I will set my face ⁶  against that person and cut him off from the midst of his people.

Leviticus 20:10

20:10 If a man ⁷  commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, ⁸  both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

¹ tn Heb “And I, I shall give my faces.”

² sn On the “cut off” penalty see the notes on Lev 7:20 and 17:4.

³ tn Heb “for the sake of defiling my sanctuary and to profane my holy name.”

⁴ sn For structure and coherence in Lev 20:6-27 see the note on v. 27 below.

⁵ tn See the note on the phrase “familiar spirits” in Lev 19:31 above.

⁶ tn Heb “I will give my faces.”

⁷ tn Heb “And a man who.” The syntax here and at the beginning of the following verses elliptically mirrors that of v. 9, which justifies the rendering as a conditional clause.

⁸ tc The reading of the LXX minuscule mss has been followed here (see the BHS footnote a-a). The MT has a dittography, repeating “a man who commits adultery with the wife of” (see the explanation in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 328). The duplication found in the MT is reflected in some English versions, e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV.
