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 2vomitH7006 you outH7006. 23Furthermore, you shall not 3followH1980 4the customsH2708 of the nationH1471 whichH834 I am going to driveH7971 outH7971 beforeH6440 you, becauseH3588 they didH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428; 5therefore I have feltH6973 disgustH6973 for them. 24So I have saidH559 to you, “6You are to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH127, and I MyselfH589 will giveH5414 it to you to possessH3423, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.” I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 has 7singledH914 you outH914 from the peoplesH5971. 258You are therefore to makeH914 aH914 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 crawlsH7430 on the groundH127, whichH834 I have distinguishedH914 for you as uncleanH2930. 26So you are to be holyH6918 to Me, for I the LordH3068 am holyH6918; and I 11have singledH914 you outH914 from the peoplesH5971 to be Mine.
27‘Now a manH376 orH176 a womanH802 12who is a mediumH178 orH176 a spiritistH3049 13mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. They shall be stonedH7275 with stonesH68; they have brought their 14own deathsH1818 upon themselves.’”
