Leviticus 20:22-27

King James Version

²²Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

²³And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

²⁴But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people.

²⁵Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

²⁶And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

²⁷A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

New International Version

²²“‘Keep all my decrees and laws^(A) and follow them, so that the land^(B) where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out. ²³You must not live according to the customs of the nations^(C) I am going to drive out before you.^(D) Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.^(E) ²⁴But I said to you, “You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.”^(F) I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart from the nations.^(G)

²⁵“‘You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between unclean and clean birds.^(H) Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that moves along the ground—those that I have set apart as unclean for you. ²⁶You are to be holy to me^(I) because I, the Lord, am holy,^(J) and I have set you apart from the nations^(K) to be my own.

²⁷“‘A man or woman who is a medium^(L) or spiritist among you must be put to death.^(M) You are to stone them;^(N) their blood will be on their own heads.’”
