Punishments for Disobedience
1
Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Moses…,
יְהוָ֖ה וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ Yah·weh way·ḏab·bêr ’el- mō·šeh lê·mōr — WLC · 1

“Tell… the Israelites…, ‘Any… Israelite… or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death… The people of the land are to stone him.

Καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ λαλήσεις Ἐάν τις ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν γεγενημένων προσηλύτων ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ὃς ἂν δῷ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ ἄρχοντι, θανάτῳ θανατούσθω· τὸ ἔθνος τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς λιθοβολήσουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν λίθοις. — LXX Swete · 2
3
And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech,… he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.

4
And if the people of the land ever hide… their eyes and fail to put to death - the man who gives one of his children to Molech,
וְאִ֡ם עַ֨ם הָאָ֜רֶץ אֶת־ הַעְלֵ֣ם יַעְלִימֽוּ֩ עֵֽינֵיהֶם֙ לְבִלְתִּ֖י הָמִ֥ית אֹתֽוֹ׃ מִן־ הָאִ֣ישׁ הַה֔וּא בְּתִתּ֥וֹ מִזַּרְע֖וֹ לַמֹּ֑לֶךְ wə·’im ‘am hā·’ā·reṣ ’eṯ- ha‘·lêm ya‘·lî·mū ‘ê·nê·hem lə·ḇil·tî hā·mîṯ ’ō·ṯōw min- hā·’îš ha·hū bə·ṯit·tōw miz·zar·‘ōw lam·mō·leḵ — WLC · 4

5
then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off - from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves… with Molech.

Whoever turns to mediums… or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person… and cut him off from his people.

Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God.

And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am [[YHWH|the LORD]] who sanctifies you.

If anyone… curses his father or mother, he must be put to death… He has cursed his father or mother; his blood [shall be] upon him.

Punishments for Sexual Immorality

11
If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death…; their blood [is] upon them.

If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.

If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother -, and they have sexual relations…, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.

18
If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her -, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.

19
You must not have sexual relations with… the sister of your mother or your father -, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.

You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.

24
But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance— a land flowing with milk and honey. I am [[YHWH|the LORD]] your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.
