Ce chapitre n'est pas encore disponible en français — texte original affiché.

Say to the Israelites: Any Israelite, or any foreigner residing in Israel, who gives one of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him.
I myself will set my face against that man and cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, defiling my sanctuary and profaning my holy name.
If the people of the land close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and fail to put him to death,
then I myself will set my face against that man and his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molech.
Whoever turns to mediums and spiritists, prostituting himself by following them, I will set my face against that person and cut him off from among his people.
Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.
Keep my statutes and do them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood is on his own head.
If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.
If a man sleeps with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness. Both of them must be put to death; their blood is on their own heads.
If a man sleeps with his daughter-in-law, both of them must be put to death. What they have done is a perversion; their blood is on their own heads.
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood is on their own heads.
If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depravity. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that no depravity will be found among you.
If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he must be put to death, and you are to kill the animal.
If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you are to kill both the woman and the animal. They must be put to death; their blood is on their own heads.
If a man takes his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off before the eyes of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he will bear his guilt.
If a man lies with a woman during her monthly period and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed her flow of blood, and she has uncovered it. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.
Do not have sexual relations with your mother's sister or your father's sister, for that would dishonor a close relative; both of them would bear their guilt.
If a man sleeps with his aunt, he has dishonored his uncle. They will bear the consequences of their sin; they will die childless.
If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they will be childless.
Keep all my statutes and all my ordinances and do them, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.
Do not follow the customs of the nations I am driving out before you. They did all these things, and I abhorred them.
But I said to you: You will take possession of their land; I myself will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.
You therefore must distinguish between clean animals and unclean, and between unclean birds and clean. Do not defile yourselves with any animal or bird or anything that crawls on the ground—those I have set apart as unclean for you.
You are to be holy to me, because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.
A man or woman who is a medium or a spiritist must be put to death. They are to be stoned; their blood is on their own heads.
