1 And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land;
3 And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common.
4 And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,
5 Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people.
6 And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people.
7 So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God.
8 And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy.
9 Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him.
10 And if a man has sex relations with another man's wife, even the wife of his neighbour, he and she are certainly to be put to death.
11 And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.
12 And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them.
13 And if a man has sex relations with a man, the two of them have done a disgusting thing: let them be put to death; their blood will be on them.
14 And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.
15 And if a man has sex relations with a beast, let him be put to death, and let the beast be put to destruction.
16 And if a woman goes near a beast and has sex relations with it, you will put an end to the woman and the beast: their blood will be on them.
17 And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.
18 And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.
19 And you may not have sex connection with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for they are his near relations: their sin will be on them.
20 And if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children.
21 And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.
22 So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.
23 And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.
24 But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.
25 So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you.
26 And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.
27 Any man or woman who makes use of spirits, or who is a wonder-worker, is to be put to death: they are to be stoned with stones: their blood will be on them.
1 Herra sanoi Moosekselle:
3 Näin minä käännyn häntä vastaan ja poistan hänet kansansa keskuudesta, koska hän on uhrannut lapsensa Molokille ja siten saastuttanut minun pyhäkköni ja häpäissyt minun pyhän nimeni.
4 Jos seudun väki kuitenkin ummistaa silmänsä siltä, että hän on uhrannut lapsensa Molokille, eikä surmaa häntä,
5 minä itse käännyn häntä ja hänen perhettään vastaan ja poistan kansansa keskuudesta sekä hänet että kaikki muut, jotka hänen esimerkkiään seuraten ovat olleet minulle uskottomia ja ryhtyneet palvelemaan Molokia.
7 Olkaa puhtaat ja pyhät, sillä minä olen Herra, teidän Jumalanne.
8 Pitäkää kaikki minun lakini ja noudattakaa niitä. Minä, Herra, olen pyhittänyt teidät omaksi kansakseni.
10 Jos mies tekee aviorikoksen toisen miehen vaimon kanssa, molemmat avionrikkojat, sekä mies että nainen, on surmattava.
12 Jos mies makaa miniänsä kanssa, heidät on molemmat surmattava. He ovat tehneet luonnottoman teon ja ovat itse ansainneet kuolemansa.
13 Jos mies makaa miehen kanssa niin kuin naisen kanssa maataan, he ovat molemmat tehneet kauhistuttavan teon ja heidät on surmattava. He ovat itse ansainneet kuolemansa.
14 Jos joku ottaa vaimokseen naisen ja hänen äitinsä tai naisen ja hänen tyttärensä, se on törkeä teko, jonka vuoksi sekä mies että molemmat naiset on poltettava. Sen kaltaista törkeyttä ei saa sallia teidän keskuudessanne.
15 Jos mies sekaantuu eläimeen, hänet on surmattava, ja myös eläin on surmattava.
16 Jos nainen parittelee eläimen kanssa, surmattakoon sekä nainen että eläin. Molemmat on surmattava, sillä kumpikin on ansainnut kuolemansa.
20 Jos joku makaa setänsä vaimon kanssa, hän häpäisee setänsä. Syylliset joutuvat kantamaan vastuun synnistään. Heidät on surmattava, eikä heille saa jäädä lapsia.
21 Jos joku viettelee veljensä vaimon, hän tekee inhottavan teon. Koska hän on häpäissyt veljensä, syylliset on surmattava eikä heille saa jäädä lapsia.
23 Älkää omaksuko niiden kansojen tapoja, jotka minä ajan pois teidän tieltänne. Ne kansat ovat tehneet kaikkia näitä tekoja ja herättäneet minun inhoni.
24 Siksi minä olen sanonut teille: 'Te saatte periä heidän maansa. Minä annan teille omaksi maan, joka tulvii maitoa ja hunajaa.' Minä, Herra, teidän Jumalanne, olen valinnut teidät ja tehnyt eron teidän ja muiden kansojen välillä.
25 Tehkää tekin ero puhtaiden ja saastaisten eläinten välillä, sekä nelijalkaisten että lintujen, älkääkä saattako itseänne epäpuhtaiksi koskemalla niihin nelijalkaisiin eläimiin, lintuihin tai maassa ryömiviin elollisiin olioihin, jotka minä olen erottanut saastaisiksi.
26 Pysykää aina minulle pyhitettyinä, sillä minä, Herra, olen pyhä, ja minä olen tehnyt eron teidän ja muiden kansojen välillä ja ottanut teidät omaksi kansakseni.
27 Jos jossakussa miehessä tai naisessa puhuu vainaja- tai tietäjähenki, hänet on surmattava. Hänet kivitettäköön hengiltä, sillä hän on itse ansainnut kuolemansa.
