1. The Lord said to Moses,
|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "You must also tell the people of Israel these things: 'If a person in your country gives one of his children to Molech, that person must be killed. It doesn't matter if he is a citizen or a foreigner living in Israel; you must throw stones at him and kill him.
|
2. Again , thou shalt say H559 to H413 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , Whosoever H376 H376 he be of the children H4480 H1121 of Israel H3478 , or of H4480 the strangers H1616 that sojourn H1481 in Israel H3478 , that H834 giveth H5414 any of his seed H4480 H2233 unto Molech H4432 ; he shall surely be put to death H4191 H4191 : the people H5971 of the land H776 shall stone H7275 him with stones H68 .
|
|
3. I will be against him and cut him off from his people, because he gave his children to Molech. He showed that he did not respect my holy name, and he made my Holy Place unclean.
|
3. And I H589 will set H5414 H853 my face H6440 against that H1931 man H376 , and will cut him off H3772 H853 from among H4480 H7130 his people H5971 ; because H3588 he hath given H5414 of his seed H4480 H2233 unto Molech H4432 , to H4616 defile H2930 H853 my sanctuary H4720 , and to profane H2490 H853 my holy H6944 name H8034 .
|
|
4. The people of the community might ignore that person and not kill the one who gave his children to Molech.
|
4. And if H518 the people H5971 of the land H776 do any ways hide H5956 H5956 H853 their eyes H5869 from the man H4480 H376 H1931 , when he giveth H5414 of his seed H4480 H2233 unto Molech H4432 , and kill H4191 him not H1115 :
|
|
5. But I will be against him and his family, and I will cut him off from his people. I will do this to anyone who follows him in being unfaithful to me by worshiping Molech.
|
5. Then I H589 will set H7760 H853 my face H6440 against that H1931 man H376 , and against his family H4940 , and will cut him off H3772 H853 , and all H3605 that go a whoring H2181 after H310 him , to commit whoredom H2181 with H310 Molech H4432 , from among H4480 H7130 their people H5971 .
|
|
6. "'I will be against anyone who goes to mediums and fortune-tellers for advice, because that person is being unfaithful to me. So I will cut him off from his people.
|
6. And the soul H5315 that H834 turneth H6437 after H413 such as have familiar spirits H178 , and after H413 wizards H3049 , to go a whoring H2181 after H310 them , I will even set H5414 H853 my face H6440 against that H1931 soul H5315 , and will cut him off H3772 H853 from among H4480 H7130 his people H5971 .
|
|
7. "'Be my holy people. Be holy because I am the Lord your God.
|
7. Sanctify yourselves H6942 therefore , and be H1961 ye holy H6918 : for H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 your God H430 .
|
|
8. Remember and obey my laws. I am the Lord, and I have made you holy.
|
8. And ye shall keep H8104 H853 my statutes H2708 , and do H6213 them: I H589 am the LORD H3068 which sanctify H6942 you.
