Leviticus 20:22-27
22‘You are therefore to keepH8104 allH3605 My statutesH2708 and allH3605 My ordinancesH4941 and doH6213 them, so that the landH776 to whichH834 I am bringingH935 you to 1liveH3427 will not 2spewH7006 you out. 23Moreover, you shall not 3followH1980 4the customsH2708 of the nationH1471 whichH834 I will driveH7971 out beforeH6440 you, for they didH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428, and 5therefore I have abhorredH6973 them. 24Hence I have saidH559 to you, “6You are to possessH3423 their landH127, and I MyselfH589 will giveH5414 it to you to possessH3423 it, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.” I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 has 7separatedH914 you from the peoplesH5971. 258You are therefore to makeH914 a distinctionH914 betweenH996 the cleanH2889 animalH929 and the uncleanH2931, and betweenH996 the uncleanH2931 birdH5775 and the cleanH2889; and you shall not makeH8262 9yourselvesH5315 detestableH8262 by animalH929 or by birdH5775 or by anythingH3605 10that creepsH7430 on the groundH127, whichH834 I have separatedH914 for you as uncleanH2930. 26Thus you are to be holyH6918 to Me, for I the LordH3068 am holyH6918; and I 11have setH914 you apartH914 from the peoplesH5971 to be Mine.
27‘Now a manH376 orH176 a womanH802 12who is a mediumH178 orH176 a 13spiritistH3049 shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191. They shall be stonedH7275 with stonesH68, their bloodguiltinessH1818 is upon them.’”
