Penalties of Immorality |
Leviticus 20:1-27 The Third Book of Moses Called Leviticus |
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, You shall say to the children [people] of Israel again, [Whoever] of the children of Israel, or the strangers [who stay] in Israel, that gives any of his [children] to Molech, he shall [certainly] be put to death & the people of the land shall stone him. |
[Psalm 106:34-38 They did not destroy the nations, [about] whom the Lord commanded them: But were [mixed] among the heathen & learned their [actions.] and they served their idols; which were a snare to them. [Yes,] they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to [demons] & shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons & daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan & the land was polluted with blood.] |
I will set My face against that man & will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his [children] to Molech to defile My sanctuary & to profane My holy Name. |
If the people of the land hide their eyes from the man, when he gives his [children] to Molech & don’t kill him, then I will set My face against that man & his family & will cut him off from among their people. And all [who] go [prostituting] themselves after him, to commit [harlotry] with Molech. |
[Ezekiel 23:37 That they have committed adultery & blood is [on] their hands & have committed adultery with their idols & have also caused their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.] |
I will even set My face against that [person who] turns after [mediums,] wizards & those who have familiar spirits, to [be unfaithful with] them. I will cut him off from among his people. Therefore, sanctify yourselves & be holy, for I am the Lord your God & you shall keep My statutes & perform them. I am the Lord who [sanctifies] you. |
Everyone who curses his father or mother, shall surely be put to death & [their] blood shall be upon them. The man [who] commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, [both] the adulterer & the adulteress shall surely be put to death. |
The man who lies [intimately] with his father’s wife, both of them shall surely be put to death & [their] blood shall be upon them. If a man lies [intimately] with his daughter-in-law, they have [done what is bewildering] & they both shall surely be put to death & their blood shall be upon them. |
If a man [lies] with a [male like] he [lies] with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination & they shall surely be put to death & their blood shall be upon them. |
If a man [marries] a wife & her mother, it is wickedness & they both shall be [burned] with fire, [so] that there is no wickedness among you. If a man or woman [is sexually intimate] with an [animal,] both the [person] & the [animal] shall surely be put to death & [their] blood shall be upon them. |
If a man takes his sister, [either] his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter & sees her nakedness & she sees his, it is a wicked thing & they shall be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness & he shall bear his iniquity. |
If a man lies with a woman during her [monthly] sickness & [uncovers] her nakedness & her [flow of blood,] they shall both be cut off from their people. [A man shall not be intimate] with his mother’s sister, nor his father’s sister, for he has uncovered his near [family] & they shall bear their iniquity. |
If a man shall lie [intimately] with his uncle’s wife, or his brother’s wife for they are his near [family] & they shall bear their sin & they shall die childless. |
Therefore, you shall keep all My statutes & all My judgments & do them, [so] that the land where I bring you to dwell [doesn’t vomit] you out. You shall not [follow] the [customs] of the [nations that] I cast out before you. they committed all these things, therefore, I [loathed] them. |
But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land & I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk & honey. I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from other people. |
Therefore you shall [distinguish] between the clean & the unclean [animals, birds, & creeping things,] [so] you [don’t] make yourselves abominable by any of these things that I have separated from you as unclean. |
You shall be holy to Me: for I the Lord am holy & I have [separated] you from other people, [so] that you should be Mine. A man or a woman [who] is a wizard or [is a medium] shall surely be put to death & shall be [stoned & their] blood shall be upon them. |
