Leviticus 20:1-26

20:1

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

20:2

Again, thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)

to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Whosoever
<0376>

[he be] of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

or of the strangers
<01616>

that sojourn
<01481> (8802)

in Israel
<03478>_,

that giveth
<05414> (8799)

[any] of his seed
<02233>

unto Molech
<04432>_;

he shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

shall stone
<07275> (8799)

him with stones
<068>_.

20:3

And I will set
<05414> (8799)

my face
<06440>

against that man
<0376>_,

and will cut him off
<03772> (8689)

from among
<07130>

his people
<05971>_;

because he hath given
<05414> (8804)

of his seed
<02233>

unto Molech
<04432>_,

to defile
<02930> (8763)

my sanctuary
<04720>_,

and to profane
<02490> (8763)

my holy
<06944>

name
<08034>_.

20:4

And if the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

do any ways
<05956> (8687)

hide
<05956> (8686)

their eyes
<05869>

from the man
<0376>_,

when he giveth
<05414> (8800)

of his seed
<02233>

unto Molech
<04432>_,

and kill
<04191> (8687)

him not
<01115>_:

20:5

Then I will set
<07760> (8804)

my face
<06440>

against that man
<0376>_,

and against his family
<04940>_,

and will cut him off
<03772> (8689)_,

and all that go a whoring
<02181> (8802)

after
<0310>

him, to commit whoredom
<02181> (8800)

with Molech
<04432>_,

from among
<07130>

their people
<05971>_.

20:6

And the soul
<05315>

that turneth
<06437> (8799)

after
<0413>

such as have familiar spirits
<0178>_,

and after
<0310>

wizards
<03049>_,

to go a whoring
<02181> (8800)

after
<0310>

them, I will even set
<05414> (8804)

my face
<06440>

against that soul
<05315>_,

and will cut him off
<03772> (8689)

from among
<07130>

his people
<05971>_.

20:7

Sanctify
<06942> (8694)

yourselves therefore, and be ye holy
<06918>_:

for I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

20:8

And ye shall keep
<08104> (8804)

my statutes
<02708>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them: I [am] the LORD
<03068>

which sanctify
<06942> (8764)

you.

20:9

For every
<0376>

one
<0376>

that curseth
<07043> (8762)

his father
<01>

or his mother
<0517>

shall be surely
<04191> (8800)

put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

he hath cursed
<07043> (8765)

his father
<01>

or his mother
<0517>_;

his blood
<01818>

[shall be] upon him.

20:10

And the man
<0376>

that committeth adultery
<05003> (8799)

with [another] man's
<0376>

wife
<0802>_,

[even he] that committeth adultery
<05003> (8799)

with his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_,

the adulterer
<05003> (8802)

and the adulteress
<05003> (8802)

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

20:11

And the man
<0376>

that lieth
<07901> (8799)

with his father's
<01>

wife
<0802>

hath uncovered
<01540> (8765)

his father's
<01>

nakedness
<06172>_:

both
<08147>

of them shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_;

their blood
<01818>

[shall be] upon them.

20:12

And if a man
<0376>

lie
<07901> (8799)

with his daughter in law
<03618>_,

both
<08147>

of them shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

they have wrought
<06213> (8804)

confusion
<08397>_;

their blood
<01818>

[shall be] upon them.

20:13

If a man
<0376>

also lie
<07901> (8799)

with mankind
<02145>_,

as he lieth
<04904>

with a woman
<0802>_,

both
<08147>

of them have committed
<06213> (8804)

an abomination
<08441>_:

they shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_;

their blood
<01818>

[shall be] upon them.

20:14

And if a man
<0376>

take
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

and her mother
<0517>_,

it [is] wickedness
<02154>_:

they shall be burnt
<08313> (8799)

with fire
<0784>_,

both he and they; that there be no wickedness
<02154>

among
<08432>

you.

20:15

And if a man
<0376>

lie
<05414> (8799) <07903>

with a beast
<0929>_,

he shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

and ye shall slay
<02026> (8799)

the beast
<0929>_.

20:16

And if a woman
<0802>

approach
<07126> (8799)

unto any beast
<0929>_,

and lie down
<07250> (8800)

thereto, thou shalt kill
<02026> (8804)

the woman
<0802>_,

and the beast
<0929>_:

they shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_;

their blood
<01818>

[shall be] upon them.

20:17

And if a man
<0376>

shall take
<03947> (8799)

his sister
<0269>_,

his father's
<01>

daughter
<01323>_,

or
<0176>

his mother's
<0517>

daughter
<01323>_,

and see
<07200> (8804)

her nakedness
<06172>_,

and she see
<07200> (8799)

his nakedness
<06172>_;

it [is] a wicked thing
<02617>_;

and they shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

in the sight
<05869>

of their people
<05971> <01121>_:

he hath uncovered
<01540> (8765)

his sister's
<0269>

nakedness
<06172>_;

he shall bear
<05375> (8799)

his iniquity
<05771>_.

20:18

And if a man
<0376>

shall lie
<07901> (8799)

with a woman
<0802>

having her sickness
<01739>_,

and shall uncover
<01540> (8765)

her nakedness
<06172>_;

he hath discovered
<06168> (8689)

her fountain
<04726>_,

and she hath uncovered
<01540> (8765)

the fountain
<04726>

of her blood
<01818>_:

and both
<08147>

of them shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from among
<07130>

their people
<05971>_.

{discovered: Heb. made naked}

20:19

And thou shalt not uncover
<01540> (8762)

the nakedness
<06172>

of thy mother's
<0517>

sister
<0269>_,

nor of thy father's
<01>

sister
<0269>_:

for he uncovereth
<06168> (8689)

his near kin
<07607>_:

they shall bear
<05375> (8799)

their iniquity
<05771>_.

{uncovereth: Heb. hath made naked}

20:20

And if a man
<0376>

shall lie
<07901> (8799)

with his uncle's wife
<01733>_,

he hath uncovered
<01540> (8765)

his uncle's
<01730>

nakedness
<06172>_:

they shall bear
<05375> (8799)

their sin
<02399>_;

they shall die
<04191> (8799)

childless
<06185>_.

20:21

And if a man
<0376>

shall take
<03947> (8799)

his brother's
<0251>

wife
<0802>_,

it [is] an unclean thing
<05079>_:

he hath uncovered
<01540> (8765)

his brother's
<0251>

nakedness
<06172>_;

they shall be childless
<06185>_.

{an...: Heb. a separation}

20:22

Ye shall therefore keep
<08104> (8804)

all my statutes
<02708>_,

and all my judgments
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them: that the land
<0776>_,

whither I bring
<0935> (8688)

you to dwell
<03427> (8800)

therein, spue you not out
<06958> (8686)_.

20:23

And ye shall not walk
<03212> (8799)

in the manners
<02708>

of the nation
<01471>_,

which I cast out
<07971> (8764)

before
<06440>

you: for they committed
<06213> (8804)

all these things, and therefore I abhorred
<06973> (8799)

them.

20:24

But I have said
<0559> (8799)

unto you, Ye shall inherit
<03423> (8799)

their land
<0127>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

it unto you to possess
<03423> (8800)

it, a land
<0776>

that floweth
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

which have separated
<0914> (8689)

you from [other] people
<05971>_.

20:25

Ye shall therefore put difference
<0914> (8689)

between clean
<02889>

beasts
<0929>

and unclean
<02931>_,

and between unclean
<02931>

fowls
<05775>

and clean
<02889>_:

and ye shall not make your souls
<05315>

abominable
<08262> (8762)

by beast
<0929>_,

or by fowl
<05775>_,

or by any manner of living thing that creepeth
<07430> (8799)

on the ground
<0127>_,

which I have separated
<0914> (8689)

from you as unclean
<02930> (8763)_.

{creepeth: or, moveth}

20:26

And ye shall be holy
<06918>

unto me: for I the LORD
<03068>

[am] holy
<06918>_,

and have severed
<0914> (8686)

you from [other] people
<05971>_,

that ye should be mine.
