Book 03 : TORAH - VAYIKRA (LEVITICUS) - Chapter 020
20:001
And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying
20:002
Moreover, 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 of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death;
the people of the land shall stone him with stones
20:003
I also 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
20:004
And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes
from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death
20:005
then I will set My face against that man, and against his
family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, to go astray
after Molech, from among their people
20:006
And the soul that turneth unto the ghosts, and unto the
familiar spirits, to go astray after them, I will even set My face against that
soul, and will cut him off from among his people
20:007
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am
HaShem your G-d
20:008
And keep ye My statutes, and do them: I am HaShem who
sanctify you
20:009
For whatsoever man there be that curseth his father or his
mother shall surely be put to death; he hath cursed his father or his mother;
his blood shall be upon him
20:010
And the man that committeth adultery with another man's
wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, both the
adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death
20:011
And the man that lieth with his father's wife--he hath
uncovered his father's nakedness--both of them shall surely be put to death;
their blood shall be upon them
20:012
And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them
shall surely be put to death; they have wrought corruption; their blood shall be
upon them
20:013
And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of
them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them
20:014
And if a man take with his wife also her mother, it is
wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no
wickedness among you
20:015
And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to
death; and ye shall slay the beast
20:016
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
20:017
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 shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of
their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his
iniquity
20:018
And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness,
and shall uncover her nakedness--he hath made naked her fountain, and she hath
uncovered the fountain of her blood--both of them shall be cut off from among
their people
20:019
And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
sister, nor of thy father's sister; for he hath made naked his near kin; they
shall bear their iniquity
20:020
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
20:021
And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is
impurity: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless
20:022
Ye shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all Mine
ordinances, and do them, that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein,
vomit you not out
20:023
And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which
I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I
abhorred them
20:024
But I have said unto you: 'Ye shall inherit their land,
and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.'
I am HaShem your G-d, who have set you apart from the peoples
20:025
Ye shall therefore separate between the clean beast and
the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and ye shall not make
your souls detestable by beast, or by fowl, or by any thing wherewith the ground
teemeth, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean
20:026
And ye shall be holy unto Me; for I HaShem am holy, and
have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be Mine
20:027
A man also or a woman that divineth by a ghost or a
familiar spirit, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with
stones; their blood shall be upon them
