her daughter’s shame, nor take her son’s daughter, nor her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her shame: for it is her near kinswoman, and is a vice.

Neither shalt thou take thy wife’s sister beside her, to uncover her shame, because she is yet alive.

Thou shalt not go unto the woman, because she hath her disease, to bare her shame in her uncleanness.

Neither shalt thou lie with thy neighbour’s wife to pollute her, that thou mayest defile thyself with her.

Neither shalt thou give thy seed to be burned unto Molech, that thou profane not the name of thy God: for I am the LORD.

Thou shalt not lie with boys as with a woman: for it is an abomination.

Neither shalt thou lie with any beast, to defile thyself with it. And no woman shall lie with any beast: for it is an abomination.

Ye shall not defile yourselves in these things: for in all these things have the heathen defiled themselves, whom I will cast out before you,

And the land is polluted thereby. And I will seek their iniquity against them, and the land shall vomit out her inhabitants.

Therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and do none of these abominations, neither the native nor the stranger among you;

For all such abominations have the people of this land done, which were before you, and have defiled the land;

Lest the land also spue you out, when ye defile it, as it spued out the heathen that were before you.

For they that do these abominations shall have their souls cut off from among their people.

Wherefore keep my statutes, that ye do not after the abominable customs which were before you, that ye be not defiled therewith: for I am the LORD your God.
(Leviticus)

Ye shall not turn unto idols, neither shall ye make unto yourselves molten gods: for I am the LORD your God.

And if ye will offer peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer such things as may please him.

But ye shall eat it the same day that ye offer it, and the next day: and whatsoever remaineth the third day shall be burnt with fire.

But if any man eat thereof the third day, he is an abomination, and shall not be accepted.

Ye shall not steal, nor lie, nor deal falsely, one with another.

Ye shall not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God: for I am the LORD.

Thou shalt not be revengeful, nor bear wrath against the children of thy people. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: for I am the LORD.

And he shall bring a ram for a trespass offering unto the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation for his trespass.

And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the trespass offering before the LORD
for the sin which he hath committed: and God shall be gracious unto him for his sin which he hath committed.

When ye come into the land, and plant every tree that is eaten thereof, then ye shall circumcise the foreskin thereof, and the fruit thereof. And ye shall keep them uncircumcised three years, that ye eat them not.

And in the fourth year all the fruits thereof shall be holy, and glorified unto the LORD.

And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, and gather it: for I am the LORD your God.

Ye shall eat nothing with blood. Ye shall not hearken unto the cry of birds, neither shall ye choose days.

Ye shall not pluck any mark upon your body for the dead, neither shall ye pluck any letter upon you: for I am the LORD.

Thou shalt not keep thy daughter in whoredom, lest the land commit whoredom, and be full of vice.

Keep my feast, and fear my sanctuary: for I am the LORD.

Ye shall not turn unto soothsayers, neither inquire of sorcerers of signs, lest ye be defiled in them: for I am the LORD your God.

Right scales, right pounds, right bushels, right pitchers, shall be with you: for I am the LORD
your God, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt,

That ye keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: for I am the LORD.
(Leviticus)
Chapter 20
Punishments of different sins.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Say unto the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth his seed unto Molech, he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.

And I will set my face against such a man, and will cut him off from among his people, because he hath given his seed to the Molech, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.

And where the people of the land shall see by the fingers of the man that gave his seed unto Molech, that they kill him not,

Then will I set my face against that man, and against his seed, and will cut him off, and all that have followed him with the Molech, from among their people.

And if a soul turn unto the diviners and to the interpreters of signs to follow them, then will I set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.

And keep my statutes, and do them: for I am the LORD that sanctifieth you.

Whosoever curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. His blood be upon him, because he hath cursed his father or his mother.

Whosoever committeth adultery with any man’s wife shall surely be put to death, both he that committeth adultery, and he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife.

If a man lie with his father’s wife, and have uncovered his father’s shame, they shall both surely be put to death. Their blood be upon them.

If any man sleep by his cord, they shall both be put to death: for they have committed a shame. Their blood be upon them!

If any man sleep with a boy, as with a woman, they have done an abomination, and shall both be put to death. Their blood be upon them!

If a man take a wife, and her mother with her, he hath committed a trespass: he shall be burned with fire, and they with him, that there be no trespass among you.

If a man lie with cattle, he shall surely be put to death; and the cattle shall be strangled.

And if a woman shall come near unto any beast, to have dealings with it, thou shalt kill them, and the beast also; they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

If a man take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and look upon her shame, and she upon his shame, it is an incest: they shall be cut off from among their people: for he hath uncovered his sister’s shame. He shall bear his iniquity.

If a man lie with a woman in the time of her sickness, and uncover her shame,
