Leviticus
Chapter 20
Gives his children to Molech
20:1 And the LORD spake to Moses, saying,
20:2 Again, you will say to the children of Israel, Whosoever [he be] of the
children of Israel, or of the strangers that temporary stays in Israel,
that gives [any] of his children to 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 has given of his seed to 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 gives of his seed to 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 turns 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.
Sanctifications
20:7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be
ya'll holy for I [am] the LORD your God.
20:8 And ya'll shall keep my
statutes, and do them I [am] the LORD which sanctify you.

surely put to death he has cursed his father or his mother ; his
blood [shall be] upon him.

judgments, and do them that the land, whither I bring you to
stay therein, spue you not out.
20:23 And ya'll 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 to you, ya'll shall inherit their land, and I will
give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and
honey I [am] the LORD your God, which have separated you from
[other] people.
Difference between
clean and unclean beasts

by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which
I have separated from you as unclean.

put to death they shall stone them with stones their blood [shall
be] upon them.
