1The Lord told Moses
2to say to the community of Israel:
Death by stoning is the penalty for any citizens or foreigners in the country who sacrifice their children to the god Molech.
3They have disgraced both the place where I am worshiped and my holy name, and so I will turn against them and no longer let them belong to my people.
4Some of you may let them get away with human sacrifice,
5but not me. If any of you worship Molech, I will turn against you and your entire family, and I will no longer let you belong to my people.
6I will be your enemy if you go to someone who claims to speak with the dead, and I will destroy you from among my people.
7Dedicate yourselves to me and be holy because I am the Lord your God.
8I have chosen you as my people, and I expect you to obey my laws.
9
22Obey my laws and teachings. Or else the land I am giving you will become sick of you and throw you out.
23The nations I am chasing out did these disgusting things, and I hated them for it, so don't follow their example.
24I am the Lord your God, and I have promised you their land that is rich with milk and honey. I have chosen you to be different from other people.
25That's why you must make a difference between animals and birds that I have said are clean and unclean—this will keep you from becoming disgusting to me.
26I am the Lord, the holy God. You have been chosen to be my people, and so you must be holy too.
27If you claim to receive messages from the dead, you will be put to death by stoning, just as you deserve.
