Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Leviticus 20:1-13

1Then the LORD said to Moses,
2“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.
3And 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.
4And 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,
5then 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.
6Whoever 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.
7Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.
8And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
9If 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.
10If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife— with the wife of his neighbor — both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.
11If 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.
12If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.
13If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
