20:1 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 8762 unto Moses 4872, saying 559 8800,

20:2 Again, thou shalt say 559 8799 to the children 1121 of Israel 3478, Whosoever 376 [he be] of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, or of the strangers 1616 that sojourn 1481 8802 in Israel 3478, that giveth 5414 8799 [any] of his seed 2233 unto Molech 4432; he shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714: the people 5971 of the land 776 shall stone 7275 8799 him with stones 68.

20:3 And I will set 5414 8799 my face 6440 against that man 376, and will cut him off 3772 8689 from among 7130 his people 5971; because he hath given 5414 8804 of his seed 2233 unto Molech 4432, to defile 2930 8763 my sanctuary 4720, and to profane 2490 8763 my holy 6944 name 8034.

20:4 And if the people 5971 of the land 776 do any ways 5956 8687 hide 5956 8686 their eyes 5869 from the man 376, when he giveth 5414 8800 of his seed 2233 unto Molech 4432, and kill 4191 8687 him not 1115:

20:5 Then I will set 7760 8804 my face 6440 against that man 376, and against his family 4940, and will cut him off 3772 8689, and all that go a whoring 2181 8802 after 310 him, to commit whoredom 2181 8800 with Molech 4432, from among 7130 their people 5971.

20:6 And the soul 5315 that turneth 6437 8799 after 413 such as have familiar spirits 178, and after 310 wizards 3049, to go a whoring 2181 8800 after 310 them, I will even set 5414 8804 my face 6440 against that soul 5315, and will cut him off 3772 8689 from among 7130 his people 5971.

20:7 Sanctify 6942 8694 yourselves therefore, and be ye holy 6918: for I [am] the LORD 3068 your God 430.

20:8 And ye shall keep 8104 8804 my statutes 2708, and do 6213 8804 them: I [am] the LORD 3068 which sanctify 6942 8764 you.

20:9 For every 376 one 376 that curseth 7043 8762 his father 1 or his mother 517 shall be surely 4191 8800 put to death 4191 8714: he hath cursed 7043 8765 his father 1 or his mother 517; his blood 1818 [shall be] upon him.

20:10 And the man 376 that committeth adultery 5003 8799 with [another] man's 376 wife 802, [even he] that committeth adultery 5003 8799 with his neighbour's 7453 wife 802, the adulterer 5003 8802 and the adulteress 5003 8802 shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714.

20:11 And the man 376 that lieth 7901 8799 with his father's 1 wife 802 hath uncovered 1540 8765 his father's 1 nakedness 6172: both 8147 of them shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714; their blood 1818 [shall be] upon them.

20:12 And if a man 376 lie 7901 8799 with his daughter in law 3618, both 8147 of them shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714: they have wrought 6213 8804 confusion 8397; their blood 1818 [shall be] upon them.

20:13 If a man 376 also lie 7901 8799 with mankind 2145, as he lieth 4904 with a woman 802, both 8147 of them have committed 6213 8804 an abomination 8441: they shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714; their blood 1818 [shall be] upon them.

20:14 And if a man 376 take 3947 8799 a wife 802 and her mother 517, it [is] wickedness 2154: they shall be burnt 8313 8799 with fire 784, both he and they; that there be no wickedness 2154 among 8432 you.

20:15 And if a man 376 lie 5414 8799 7903 with a beast 929, he shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714: and ye shall slay 2026 8799 the beast 929.

20:16 And if a woman 802 approach 7126 8799 unto any beast 929, and lie down 7250 8800 thereto, thou shalt kill 2026 8804 the woman 802, and the beast 929: they shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714; their blood 1818 [shall be] upon them.

20:17 And if a man 376 shall take 3947 8799 his sister 269, his father's 1 daughter 1323, or 176 his mother's 517 daughter 1323, and see 7200 8804 her nakedness 6172, and she see 7200 8799 his nakedness 6172; it [is] a wicked thing 2617; and they shall be cut off 3772 8738 in the sight 5869 of their people 5971 1121: he hath uncovered 1540 8765 his sister's 269 nakedness 6172; he shall bear 5375 8799 his iniquity 5771.

20:18 And if a man 376 shall lie 7901 8799 with a woman 802 having her sickness 1739, and shall uncover 1540 8765 her nakedness 6172; he hath discovered 6168 8689 her fountain 4726, and she hath uncovered 1540 8765 the fountain 4726 of her blood 1818: and both 8147 of them shall be cut off 3772 8738 from among 7130 their people 5971.(discovered: Heb. made naked)

20:19 And thou shalt not uncover 1540 8762 the nakedness 6172 of thy mother's 517 sister 269, nor of thy father's 1 sister 269: for he uncovereth 6168 8689 his near kin 7607: they shall bear 5375 8799 their iniquity 5771.(uncovereth: Heb. hath made naked)

20:20 And if a man 376 shall lie 7901 8799 with his uncle's wife 1733, he hath uncovered 1540 8765 his uncle's 1730 nakedness 6172: they shall bear 5375 8799 their sin 2399; they shall die 4191 8799 childless 6185.

20:21 And if a man 376 shall take 3947 8799 his brother's 251 wife 802, it [is] an unclean thing 5079: he hath uncovered 1540 8765 his brother's 251 nakedness 6172; they shall be childless 6185.(an…: Heb. a separation)

20:22 Ye shall therefore keep 8104 8804 all my statutes 2708, and all my judgments 4941, and do 6213 8804 them: that the land 776, whither I bring 935 8688 you to dwell 3427 8800 therein, spue you not out 6958 8686.

20:23 And ye shall not walk 3212 8799 in the manners 2708 of the nation 1471, which I cast out 7971 8764 before 6440 you: for they committed 6213 8804 all these things, and therefore I abhorred 6973 8799 them.

20:24 But I have said 559 8799 unto you, Ye shall inherit 3423 8799 their land 127, and I will give 5414 8799 it unto you to possess 3423 8800 it, a land 776 that floweth 2100 8802 with milk 2461 and honey 1706: I [am] the LORD 3068 your God 430, which have separated 914 8689 you from [other] people 5971.

20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference 914 8689 between clean 2889 beasts 929 and unclean 2931, and between unclean 2931 fowls 5775 and clean 2889: and ye shall not make your souls 5315 abominable 8262 8762 by beast 929, or by fowl 5775, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth 7430 8799 on the ground 127, which I have separated 914 8689 from you as unclean 2930 8763.(creepeth: or, moveth)

20:26 And ye shall be holy 6918 unto me: for I the LORD 3068 [am] holy 6918, and have severed 914 8686 you from [other] people 5971, that ye should be mine.

20:27 A man 376 also or woman 802 that hath 3588 a familiar spirit 178, or that is a wizard 3049, shall surely 4191 8800 be put to death 4191 8714: they shall stone 7275 8799 them with stones 68: their blood 1818 [shall be] upon them.
