20:1 And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
20:2 Thou shalt also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any
of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel,
who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the
nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.
20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from his
people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary,
and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
20:4 And if the natives of the land should in anywise overlook that man in
giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
20:5 then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will
destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should
go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
20:6 And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits,
or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against
that soul, and will destroy it from among its people.
20:7 And ye shall be holy, for I Yehovah your Elohim [am] holy.
20:8 And ye shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] Yehovah that
sanctifies you.
20:9 Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him
die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be
guilty.
20:10 Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever
shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the
death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
20:11 And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his
father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
20:12 And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be
put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
20:13 And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both
wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
20:14 Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they
shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity among you.
20:15 And whosoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and ye
shall kill the beast.
20:16 And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion
with it, ye shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they
are guilty.
20:17 Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and
shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they
shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his
sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
20:18 And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a
flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and
she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from
among their generation.
20:19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister, or of
the sister of thy mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one
near akin: they shall bear their iniquity.
20:20 Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the
nakedness of one near akin to him: they shall die childless.
20:21 Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has
uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die childless.
20:22 And keep ye all my ordinances, and my judgments; and ye shall do them,
and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to
dwell upon it.
20:23 And walk ye not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from
before you; for they have done all these things, and I have abhorred them:
20:24 and I said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it to
you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the
Lord your Elohim, who have separated you from all people.
20:25 And ye shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean
cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and ye shall not defile your
souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth,
which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
20:26 And ye shall be holy to me; because I Yehovah your Elohim [am] holy, who
separated you from all nations, to be mine.
20:27 And [as for] a man or woman whosoever of them shall have in them a
divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: ye shall
stone them with stones, they are guilty. |
20:1 And Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the
children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth
any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of
the land shall stone him with stones.
20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from
among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile
my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man,
when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
20:5 Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and
will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom
with Molech, from among their people.
20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and
after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against
that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am Yehovah your
Elohim.
20:8 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am Yehovah which
sanctify you.
20:9 For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put
to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon
him.
20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he
that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the
adulteress shall surely be put to death.
20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his
father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them.
20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely
be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon
them.
20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them
have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their
blood shall be upon them.
20:14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall
be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
20:15 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye
shall slay the beast.
20:16 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou
shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death;
their blood shall be upon them.
20:17 And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his
mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a
wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he
hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
20:18 And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall
uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath
uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from
among their people.
20:19 And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor
of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear
their iniquity.
20:20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
20:21 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he
hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
20:22 Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do
them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out
before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred
them.
20:24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give
it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the
Yehovah your Elohim, which have separated you from other people.
20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean,
and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls
abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that
creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I Yehovah am holy, and have severed
you from other people, that ye should be mine.
20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard,
shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood
shall be upon them. |
