Levítico 20:1-6

1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés diciendo:

2 Dirás asimismo a los hijos de Israel: Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, o de los extranjeros que peregrinan en Israel, que diere de su simiente a Moloc, de seguro morirá; el pueblo de la tierra lo apedreará con piedras.

3 Y yo pondré mi rostro contra el tal varón, y lo cortaré de entre su pueblo; por cuanto dio de su simiente a Moloc, contaminando mi santuario, y ensuciando mi santo nombre.

4 Y si escondiere el pueblo de la tierra sus ojos de aquel varón que hubiere dado de su simiente a Moloc, para no matarle,

5 entonces yo pondré mi rostro contra aquel varón, y contra su familia, y le cortaré de entre su pueblo, con todos los que fornicaron en pos de él, prostituyéndose en pos de Moloc.

6 Y la persona que atendiere a encantadores o adivinos, para prostituirse tras de ellos, yo pondré mi rostro contra la tal persona, y la cortaré de entre su pueblo.

Levítico 20:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 20

In this chapter several laws are, repeated, enforced with a penalty annexed to them, and the breach them made capital, to deter from it, as giving seed to Molech, Le 20:1-5; going after such that have familiar spirits, or are wizards, Le 20:6; by shunning which, and other sins, a regard would be shown to holiness, Le 20:7,8; such as cursing parents, Le 20:9; committing adultery, Le 20:10; incestuous copulations, and marriages, and beastly actions, Le 20:11-21; all which it became the Israelites to avoid, lest, when come into the land of Canaan, they should be cast out of it, as the old inhabitants were for the same things, Le 20:22-24; and therefore, that they might appear to be a distinct people from others, they were to put a difference between clean and unclean creatures, Le 20:25,26; and the chapter is closed with a law, making it death for any person to have a familiar spirit, or to be a wizard, Le 19:27.
