And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
Again, thou shalt say to the Bnei Yisroel, Whosoever he be of the Bnei Yisroel, or of the ger that sojourn in Yisroel, that giveth any of his zera unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death; the Am HaAretz shall stone him with stones.
And I will set My face against that ish, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his zera unto Molech, to make tamei My Mikdash, and to commit chillul Hashem against Shem Kodshi (My Holy Name).
And if the Am HaAretz close their eyes when that man giveth of his zera unto Molech, and kill him not,
Then I will set My face against that ish, and against his mishpochah, and will cut him off, and all that go awhoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
And the nefesh that turneth to Ovos (Mediums) and Yidonim (Spiritists), to go a-whoring after them, I will even set My face against that nefesh, and will cut him off from among his people.
Consecrate yourselves as kadosh, therefore, and be ye kedoshim: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.
And ye shall be shomer over My chukkot, and do them: I am Hashem who sets you apart as kodesh.
