20 ‎[1] Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying: ‎[2] And to Bnei Yisrael you shall say: that each and every man of Bnei Yisroel and from the proselytes that reside [**convert**] in Israel, who will give any of his children to *Molech*, [that] he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land [**House of Israel**] shall stone him to death. ‎[3] I shall direct My wrath on that man and I shall cut him off from among his people, for he gave of his children to *Molech*, in order to defile My Sanctuary and profane My Holy Name. ‎[4] If the people of the land [**House of Israel**] will hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his children to *Molech*, and they do not put him to death. ‎[5] I shall set My wrath against that man and his family [**supporters**]; I shall cut him off, along with all those who go astray after him to go astray after *Molech*, [they will be cut off] from among their people. ‎[6] The person who turns to mediums and oracles to stray after them; I shall direct My wrath against that person and cut him off from among his people. ‎[7] You shall sanctify yourselves and be holy for I am Adonoy, your God. ‎[8] You must keep My statutes and do [observe] them. I am Adonoy who sanctifies you. ‎[9] Any man that curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. [Since] he has cursed his father or mother, his blood is on him [**he is liable to the death penalty**]. ‎[10] A man who commits adultery with another mans wife who commits adultery with the wife of his fellow man—they shall surely be put to death—the adulterer and the adulteress. ‎[11] A man who will lie [conjugally] with his fathers wife has uncovered his fathers nakedness; they both shall surely be put to death, their blood is on them [**they are liable to the death penalty**]. ‎[12] A man who will lie [conjugally] with his daughter-in-law; they both shall surely be put to death they have committed an act of perversion, their blood is on them [**they are liable to the death penalty**]. ‎[13] A man who will lie [conjugally] with [another] man, in the same manner as with a woman; they both have committed an abominable act, they shall surely be put to death, their blood is on them [**they are liable to the death penalty**]. ‎[14] A man who marries a woman and her mother; it is lewdness [**a sinful plan**]. They shall be burned in fire, he and [one of] them, and there will no longer be such lewdness [**a sinful plan**] among you. ‎[15] A man who lies [conjugally] with an animal shall surely be put to death, and you shall also kill the animal. ‎[16] A woman who presents herself to an animal causing it to copulate with her [**control her**]; you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be killed, their blood is on them [**they are liable to the death penalty**]. ‎[17] A man who marries his sister, either his fathers daughter or his mothers daughter, and he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful perversion. They shall be cut off before their people he has uncovered the nakedness of his sister, he shall bear [the burden of] his iniquity. ‎[18] A man who will lie [conjugally] with a menstruating [**an impure**] woman and uncover her nakedness and uncover her source [womb] [**shameful perversion**] and she has uncovered the source [**impurity**] of her blood; they shall both be cut off from among their people. ‎[19] The nakedness of your mothers sister and of your fathers sister, you shall not uncover, for the nakedness of his close kin he will have bared they shall bear [the burden of] their iniquity. ‎[20] A man who will lie [conjugally] with his aunt [**father’s brother’s wife**] has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle [**father’s brother**] they will bear [the burden of] their sin and they will die without children. ‎[21] A man who will marry his brothers wife who must be [conjugally] avoided [by him]; he has uncovered his brothers nakedness, they shall die without children. ‎[22] You shall keep all of My statutes and all of My laws and do (observe) them [so that] you will not be expelled by the land to which I am bringing you there to reside therein. ‎[23] You shall not follow the customs of the nation which I am expelling before you. For they have done all these above mentioned sins and I became disgusted with [**my Word distanced**] them. ‎[24] And I have said to you [that] you shall inherit their land, and I shall give it to you that you may inherit it, a land flowing with [**producing**] milk and honey, I am Adonoy, your God who separated you from the [other] peoples. ‎[25] You shall distinguish between a [ritually] clean animal and a unclean one, between the unclean fowl and the clean one. Do not make yourselves disgusting through the animals, fowl or through any creature that creeps on the ground which I have distinguished for you as being unclean. ‎[26] You shall be holy to [**before**] Me, for I, Adonoy, am holy and I have distinguished you from the [other] peoples to be Mine [and to serve Me] [**be worshippers before Me**]. ‎[27] If among the men or women there will be a medium or an oracle they shall surely be put to death. You shall stone them to death, their blood is on them [**they are liable to the death penalty**].
