Set Yourselves Apart as Holy

20 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “You shall also say to the sons of Israel:

‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the sojourners sojourning in Israel (A)who gives any of his seed to Molech shall surely be put to death; (B)the people of the land shall stone him with stones. I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given some of those who are his seed to Molech, (C)so as to defile My sanctuary and (D)to profane My holy name. If the people of the land, however, [a]should ever turn a blind eye to that man when he gives any of those who are his seed to Molech, so as not to put him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, in playing the harlot after Molech.

20 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “You shall also say to the sons of Israel:

‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel (A)who gives any of his [a]offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; (B)the people of the land shall stone him with stones. I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his [b]offspring to Molech, (C)so as to defile My sanctuary and (D)to profane My holy name. If the people of the land, however, [c]should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his [d]offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech.
