Leviticus 20
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1And LORD JEHOVAH spoke with Moshe and said to him: 2“Say to the children of Israel: 'A man of the children of Israel and of those who are converted to me who dwell in Israel who expels of his seed into a foreign woman, that man shall certainly be killed, and the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3And I shall put my anger in that man and I shall destroy him from within his people because he expelled of his seed into a foreign woman to defile my holy place and to defile the Name of my holiness. 4And if the people of the land will avert their eyes from that man who cast of his seed into a foreign woman so that they will not kill him: 5I shall work my wrath in that man and in his family and I shall destroy him and everyone who strayed after him, because he strayed after an estranged woman from within their people.

6And the soul that will go after necromancers and soothsayers and will go astray after them, I shall put my wrath in that soul and I shall destroy him from within his people. 7Be sanctified and be Holy Ones, because I AM LORD JEHOVAH your God. 8Keep my commands and do them. I AM LORD JEHOVAH, I who hallow you.

9And a man who will curse his father or his mother shall certainly be killed; he cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.

10And a man who commits adultery with the wife of a man and will commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, the adulterer and the adulteress shall certainly be killed. 11And a man who will copulate with the wife of his father exposes the nakedness of his father; both shall certainly be killed and their blood will be upon them. 12And a man who will copulate with his daughter in law, both shall certainly be killed because they have committed sin; their blood will be upon them. 13And a man who will copulate with a male as copulating with a woman, they have committed an abomination; both certainly shall be killed and their blood shall be upon them. 14And a man who takes a woman and her mother, it is sin; they shall burn him and them in fire, and there shall be no sin among you. 15And a man who copulates with a beast certainly shall be killed; also that beast shall be stoned. 16And a woman who presents herself to a beast to be mounted by it: kill the woman, also the animal shall certainly be killed and their blood shall be upon them.

17And a man who takes his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother and will look at her nakedness, also she will see his nakedness, it is a reproach; they shall be deprived of the children of their people; he has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; they shall bear their evil. 18And a man who will have sexual intercourse with a menstruous woman and will uncover her nakedness, uncovers her fountain and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood; they shall both be deprived from within their people. 19Do not expose the nakedness of the sister of your mother or of the sister of your father, because they are close relatives, they shall bear the nakedness of their evil. 20And a man who will have sexual intercourse with the wife of a paternal uncle exposes the nakedness of his paternal uncle; they shall bear their sin and they shall die without children. 21And a man who will take the wife of his brother exposes him because he uncovers the nakedness of his brother; they shall be without children.

22Keep all of my commands and my judgments and do them and do not deprive yourselves of the land to which I bring you to dwell in it. 23And you shall not walk in the law of the Gentiles whom I drove out from before you because they have done these things, and I myself was grieved by them. 24And I said to you that you shall inherit their land and I shall give it to you, and you shall inherit the land that flows milk and honey; I AM LORD JEHOVAH your God who have separated you from the nations. 25Separate between a clean beast and an unclean and between a clean bird and an unclean, and you shall not defile your souls with an animal or with a bird or with any creeping thing of the Earth, which I have separated for you to uncleanness. 26And you shall be Holy Ones, because I, LORD JEHOVAH, am holy, and I have separated you from the nations that you would be mine.

27And a man or a woman that has among them a necromancer or a soothsayer certainly shall be killed, and they shall stone them with stones and their blood shall be upon them.'"
