Leviticus 20:6

Read in context

Leviticus 20:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,

5 then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.

6 Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.

7 Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.

8 And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
