Leviticus 20:6

6 I will also oppose anyone who resorts to dead spirits or spirits of divination and faithlessly follows those things. I will cut such an individual off from their people.

Leviticus 20:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 20:6

The soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits
The man or woman that has respect unto them, seeks after them, and inquires of them, in order to get knowledge of things:

and after wizards
who pretend to tell fortunes, and discover lost and stolen goods, (See Gill on Leviticus 19:31);

to go a whoring after them;
for to consult them is to forsake the Lord, and have recourse to Satan and his instruments; to relinquish their trust in God, and put confidence in them, and attribute such things to them as only belong to God, even the knowledge of things future; and this is to commit idolatry, which is spiritual adultery:

I will even set my face against that soul;
show like resentment and indignation as at him that gives his seed to Molech:

and will cut him off from among his people;
in case his people do not bear witness against him, but hide their eyes, and wink at his crimes, or the civil magistrate does not condemn and punish him; the Targum of Jonathan is,

``I will destroy him by the pestilence.''

Leviticus 20:6 In-Context

4 But if the common people choose to look the other way when someone gives their children to Molech and do not execute such a person,

5 I will set my own face against such a person and their extended family, cutting off from their people—both the guilty party and anyone with them who faithlessly followed Molech.

6 I will also oppose anyone who resorts to dead spirits or spirits of divination and faithlessly follows those things. I will cut such an individual off from their people.

7 You must be holy and keep yourselves holy because I am the LORD your God.

8 You will keep my rules and do them; I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
