Leviticus 20

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 20 of 27

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Also, you shall say to the sons of Israel, Whoever he may be of the sons of Israel, or of the aliens who stay in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3 And I, I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he has given some of his seed to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name.
