1Herren befalede Moses at give Israels folk følgende instrukser: „Enhver indfødt israelit eller fremmed iblandt jer, som overgiver sit barn til dyrkelsen af afguden Molok, skal stenes til døde af sine landsmænd.3En sådan person vil jeg selv kæmpe imod og sørge for, at han bliver udryddet, for han har gjort min helligdom uren og krænket mit hellige navn.4Hvis hans landsmænd ser igennem fingre med hans synd og nægter at slå ham ihjel,5vil jeg selv sørge for at udrydde ham og alle andre af mit folk, der dyrker Molok.6Jeg vil kæmpe imod enhver, som søger kontakt med de døde og henvender sig til sandsigere i stedet for at søge hjælp hos mig. De skal fuldstændig udryddes.7Stræb efter hellighed, for jeg er Herren, jeres Gud.8I skal adlyde alle mine bud, for jeg er Herren, som gør jer hellige.9Enhver, som forbander sin far eller mor, skal lide døden.10Hvis en mand begår ægteskabsbrud med en anden mands kone, skal både manden og kvinden dømmes til døden.11Og hvis en mand har samleje med sin fars kone, har han krænket sin far og skal lide døden sammen med kvinden.12Hvis en mand har samleje med sin svigerdatter, skal de begge lide døden, for de har begået en skammelig handling og må bære straffen derfor.13Hvis en mand har seksuelt samvær med en anden mand, som en mand har det med en kvinde, skal de begge straffes med døden, for det er en afskyelig handling, som de begge har ansvaret for.14Hvis en mand har samleje med både en mor og hendes datter, har de begået en afskyelig forbrydelse. Alle tre skal brændes, for den slags skammelige handlinger må ikke finde sted iblandt jer.15Hvis en mand har samleje med et dyr, skal han henrettes og dyret slås ihjel.16Det samme gælder, hvis en kvinde har samleje med et dyr: Hun fortjener dødsstraf for sin synd.17Hvis en mand har samleje med sin søster, hvad enten hun er en datter af hans far eller mor, har han begået en skammelig handling, og begge skal henrettes offentligt. En sådan mand må bære straffen for sin synd.18Hvis en mand har samleje med en kvinde under hendes menstruation, skal de begge dø, for manden har blottet hendes blods kilde, og hun har tilladt ham at gøre det.19Seksuelt samvær mellem en mand og hans faster eller moster er forbudt, for de er nære slægtninge. Derfor skal de bære deres straf.20Hvis en mand har samleje med sin farbrors kone, har han krænket sin farbror. Både han og kvinden må bære deres straf og dø uden børn.21Hvis en mand har samleje med sin brors* kone, er det en uren handling. Han har krænket sin bror, og både han og kvinden skal dø uden børn.22I skal overholde alle mine love og forskrifter, så det land, jeg vil føre jer ind i, ikke skal spytte jer ud igen.23I må ikke gøre som de folkeslag, jeg driver bort foran jer. De begår alle den slags handlinger, jeg her har advaret jer imod. Derfor afskyr jeg dem24og har lovet jer, at I skal få deres land i eje. Det er et land, som flyder med mælk og honning. Jeg er Herren, jeres Gud, og jeg har udskilt jer fra de andre folkeslag.25Derfor skal I skelne imellem de dyr og fugle, jeg har givet jer tilladelse til at spise, og dem, som jeg har forbudt jer at spise. I må ikke gøre jer selv til genstand for min afsky ved at spise fugle eller dyr, som jeg har forbudt jer at spise.26I skal være hellige i mine øjne, for jeg, Herren, er hellig, og jeg har udskilt jer fra de øvrige folkeslag, så I kan være mit folk.27Hvis en mand eller en kvinde har en dødemaners ånd i sig eller en spådomsånd, skal de stenes til døde.”

Punishment for Child Sacrifice
1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,2“Say to the people of Israel, Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.3I myself will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, to make my sanctuary unclean and to profane my holy name.4And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death,5then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech.6“If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.7Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.8Keep my statutes and do them; I am the Lord who sanctifies you.9For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.
Punishments for Sexual Immorality
10“If a man commits adultery with the wife of* his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.11If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.12If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed perversion; their blood is upon them.13If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.14If a man takes a woman and her mother also, it is depravity; he and they shall be burned with fire, that there may be no depravity among you.15If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal.16If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.17“If a man takes his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace, and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness, and he shall bear his iniquity.18If a man lies with a woman during her menstrual period and uncovers her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.19You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for that is to make naked one’s relative; they shall bear their iniquity.20If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.21If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is impurity.* He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless.
You Shall Be Holy
22“You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my rules and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out.23And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them.24But I have said to you, ‘You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the peoples.25You shall therefore separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the unclean bird from the clean. You shall not make yourselves detestable by beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground crawls, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean.26You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.27“A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”
