وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

«قُلْ لِبَني إِسْرائيل: أَيُّ رَجُلٍ مِن بَني إِسْرائيلَ ومِنَ النُّزَلاءِ المُقيمينَ في إِسْرائيلَ أَعْطى مِن نَسلِه لِمولَك، فلْيُقتَلْ قَتْلًا: يَرجُمُه شَعبُ الأَرضِ بِالحِجارة

وأَنا أَنقَلِبُ على ذٰلك الرَّجُلِ وأَفصِلُه مِن وَسْطِ شَعبِه، لأَنَّه أَعْطى مِن نَسلِه لِمولَك فنَجََّس مَقدِسي ودَنَّسَ ٱسمِيَ القُدُّوس

وإِن تغاضى أَهلُ الأَرضِ عن ٰذلك الرَّجُلِ في إِعطائِه مِن نَسلِه لِمولَكَ فلم يَقتُلوه

اِنقَلَبتُ على ذٰلك الرَّجُلِ وعلى عَشيرتِه، وفَصَلتُهم مِن وَسْطِ شَعبِهم، هو وجَميعَ مَن زَنَوا معه لِيَزْنوا وَراءَ مولَك

وأَيُّ إِنْسانٍ ٱلتَفَتَ إِلى مُستَحضِرِي الأَرْواحِ والعَرَّافينَ لِيزنِيَ وَراءَهم، انِقَلَبتُ على ذٰلك الإِنسانِ وفَصَلتُه مِن وَسْطِ شَعبِه

فتَقَدَّسوا وكونوا قِدِّيسين، لأَنِّي أَنا الرَّبُّ إِلٰهُكم

وٱحفَظوا فَرائِضي وٱعمَلوا بِها: أَنا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكم

أَيُّ رَجُلٍ لَعَنَ أَباه أَو أُمَّه، فلْيُقْتَلْ قَتلًا. إِنَّه لَعَنَ أَباه أَو أُمَّه: دَمُه علَيه

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ زَنى بِٱمرَأَةِ رَجُل (الَّذي يَزْني بِٱمرَأَةِ قَريبِه)، فلْيُقتَلِ الزَّاني والزَّانِيَة

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ضاجَعَ زَوجَةَ أَبيه، فقَد كَشَفَ عَورَةَ أَبيه، فلْيُقتَلا كِلاهُما: دَمُهما علَيهما

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ضاجَعَ كَنَّتَه، فلْيُقتَلا كِلاهُما: إِنَّهما صَنَعَا فاحِشة، فدَمُهما علَيهما

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ضاجَعَ ذَكَرًا مُضاجَعَةَ النِّساء، فقَد صَنعا كِلاهما قَبيحة، فلْيُقتَلا: دَمُهما علَيهما

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱمرَأَةً وأُمَّها، فتِلكَ فاحِشة، فلْيُحرَقْ هو وهُما بِالنَّار. فلا تَكُنْ فاحِشةٌ في وَسْطِكم

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ جامَعَ بَهيمةً فليُقتَلْ قَتلًا، وٱقتُلوا البَهيمةَ أَيضًا

وأَيَّةُ ٱمرَأَةٍ تَقَدَّمَت إِلى بَهيمةٍ لِتَسفِدَها، فٱقتُلِ المَرأَةَ والبَهيمة: إِنَّهما تُقتَلانِ قَتْلًا، فدَمُهما علَيهما

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ٱتَّخَذَ أُختَه، أَيِ ٱبنَةَ أَبيه أَوِ ٱبنَةَ أُمِّه فرأَى عَورَتَها ورَأَت عَورَتَه، فذٰلك عار، فلْيُفصَلا على عُيونِ بَني شَعْبِهما: إِنَّه كَشَفَ عَورَةَ أُختِه، فقَد حَمَلَ وِزرَه

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ضاجَعَ ٱمرَأَةً طامِثًا، فكَشَفَ عَورَتَها: فقد عَرَّى مَنبَعَها وهي كَشَفَت مَنبَعَ دَمِها، فلْيُفصَلا كِلاهُما مِن بَينِ شَعبِهما

عَورَةَ خالَتِكَ وعَمَّتِكَ لا تَكْشِفْ، فَمَن صَنَع ذٰلك عرَّى ذَاتَ قَرابَتِه، فحَمَلا كِلاهُما وِزرَهما

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ضاجَعَ زَوجةَ عَمِّه، فقَد كَشَفَ عَورَةَ عَمِّه: إِنَّهما يَحمِلانِ وِزرَهما، فلْيَموتا عَقيمَين

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ ٱتَّخَذَ زَوجَةَ أَخيه، ٱرتَكَبَ نَجاسةً، فقَد كَشَفَ عَورَةَ أَخيه، فلْيَموتا عَقيمَين

فٱحفَظوا جَميعَ فَرائضي وأَحْكامي وٱعمَلوا بِها، لِئَلَّا تَتَقَيَّأَكُمُ الأرضُ الَّتي أنا مُدخِلُكم إِليها لِتَسكُنوا فيها

ولا تسيروا على مُمارَساتِ الأُمَمِ الَّتي أَنا طارِدُها مِن أَمامِكم، فقَد صَنَعَت هٰذا كُلَّه فكَرِهتُها

وقُلتُ لَكم: ستَمتَلِكونَ أَنتُم وأَنا أُعطيكُم إِيَّاها لِتَمتَلِكوها أَرضًا تَدُرُّ لَبَنًا حَليبًا وعَسَلًا. أَنا الرَّبُّ إِلٰهُكُمُ الَّذي مَيَّزَكم مِن بَينِ الشُّعوب

فمَيِّزوا البَهيمةَ الطَّاهِرةَ مِنَ النَّجِسَة والطَّيرَ النَجِسَ مِنَ الطَّاهِر، ولا تُقَبِّحوا أَنفُسَكم بِالبَهائِم والطُّيورِ وسائرِ ما يَدِبُّ على الأَرضِ مِمَّا مَيَّزتُه لَكم كنَجِس

وكونوا لي قِدِّيسينَ لأَنِّي قُدُّوسٌ أَنا الرَّبّ، وقد مَيَّزتُكم مِنَ الشُّعوبِ لِتَكونوا لي

وأَيُّ رَجُلٍ أَوِ ٱمرَأَةٍ كانَ مُستَحضِرَ أَرْواحٍ أَو عَرَّافًا، فلْيُقتَلْ قَتْلًا، بالحِجارةِ يُرجَم: دَمُه علَيه»

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.

I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his offspring to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death,

then I will set my face against that man and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.

“‘The person that turns to those who are mediums and wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.

“‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the LORD your God.

You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

“‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon himself.

“‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

“‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

“‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death. They have committed a perversion. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

“‘If a man lies with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon themselves.

“‘If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.

“‘If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

“‘If a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

“‘If a man takes his sister—his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter—and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing. They shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.

“‘If a man lies with a woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness, he has made her fountain naked, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

“‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, nor of your father’s sister, for he has made his close relative naked. They shall bear their iniquity.

If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.

“‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

“‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.

You shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has separated you from the peoples.

“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.

You shall be holy to me, for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

“‘A man or a woman that is a medium or is a wizard shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones. Their blood shall be upon themselves.’”
