Bible. Leviticus
20:3. And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from
the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch,
and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.
20:4. And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little
regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed
to Moloch, and will not kill him:
20:5. I will set my face against that man, and his kindred, and will cut
off both him and all that consented with him, to commit fornication with
Moloch, out of the midst of their people.
20:6. The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and
shall commit fornication with them: I will set my face against that
soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.
20:7. Sanctify yourselves, and be ye holy: because I am the Lord your
God.
20:8. Keep my precepts, and do them. I am the Lord that sanctify you.
20:9. He that curseth his father, or mother, dying let him die. He hath
cursed his father, and mother: let his blood be upon him.
20:10. If any man commit adultery with the wife of another, and defile
his neighbour's wife: let them be put to death, both the adulterer and
the adulteress.
20:11. If a man lie with his stepmother, and discover the nakedness of
his father, let them both be put to death: their blood be upon them.

abomination: let them be put to death. Their blood be upon them.

done a heinous crime. He shall be burnt alive with them: neither shall
so great an abomination remain in the midst of you.
20:15. He that shall copulate with any beast or cattle, dying let him
die: the beast also ye shall kill.
The beast also ye shall kill... The killing of the beast was for the

abaomination.
20:16. The woman that shall lie under any beast, shall be killed
together with the same. Their blood be upon them.

daughter of his mother, and see her nakedness, and she behold her
brother's shame: they have committed a crime. They shall be slain, in
the sight of their people, because they have discovered one another's
nakedness. And they shall bear their iniquity.
20:18. If any man lie with a woman in her flowers, and uncover her
nakedness, and she open the fountain of her blood: both shall be
destroyed out of the midst of their people.
20:19. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy aunt by thy mother,
and of thy aunt by thy father. He that doth this, hath uncovered the
shame of his own flesh: both shall bear their iniquity.
