## Set Yourselves Apart as Holy 

###### 1
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 

###### 2
"You shall also say to the sons of Israel: 'Any man from the sons of Israel or from the sojourners sojourning in Israel who gives any of his seed to Molech shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 

###### 3
I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given some of _those who are_ his seed to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. 

###### 4
If the people of the land, however, should ever turn a blind eye to that man when he gives any of _those who are_ his seed to Molech, so as not to put him to death, 

###### 5
then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, in playing the harlot after Molech. 

###### 6
'As for the person who turns to mediums and to spiritists, to play the harlot after them, I will also set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people. 

###### 7
Therefore, you shall set yourselves apart as holy and be holy, for I am Yahweh your God. 

###### 8
And you shall keep My statutes and do them; I am Yahweh who makes you holy. 

###### 9
'If _there is_ anyone who curses his father or his mother, he shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother. His bloodguiltiness is upon him. 

###### 10
'If _there is_ a man who commits adultery with another man's wife, one who commits adultery with his friend's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 

###### 11
If _there is_ a man who lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 

###### 12
If _there is_ a man who lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed perversion. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 

###### 13
If _there is_ a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 

###### 14
If _there is_ a man who marries a woman and her mother, it is lewdness; both he and they shall be burned with fire so that there will be no lewdness in your midst. 

###### 15
If _there is_ a man who lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; you shall also kill the animal. 

###### 16
If _there is_ a woman who approaches any animal to mate with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. 

###### 17
'If _there is_ a man who takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, so that he sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he bears his guilt. 

###### 18
If _there is_ a man who lies with a menstruous woman and uncovers her nakedness, he has laid bare her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood; thus both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 

###### 19
You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or of your father's sister, for such a one has made naked his blood relative; they will bear their guilt. 

###### 20
If _there is_ a man who lies with his aunt, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they will bear their sin. They will die childless. 

###### 21
If _there is_ a man who takes his brother's wife, it is an impure act; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness. They will be childless. 

###### 22
'You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments and do them, so that the land to which I am bringing you to inhabit will not vomit you out. 

###### 23
Moreover, you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I will cast out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I have loathed them. 

###### 24
Hence I have said to you, "You yourselves shall possess their land, and I Myself will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples. 

###### 25
You are therefore to separate between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean; and you shall not make yourselves detestable by animal or by bird or by anything that creeps on the ground, which I have separated for you as unclean. 

###### 26
Thus you shall be holy to Me, for I Yahweh am holy; and I have separated you from the peoples to be Mine. 

###### 27
'Now a man or a woman who is a medium or a spiritist shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.'"
