Leviticus 20

Leviticus 20 assigns covenant penalties for serious offenses already forbidden in earlier chapters. These include sacrificing children to Molech, consulting familiar spirits, cursing parents, adultery, incestuous relationships, homosexual acts, bestiality, and other sexual violations. The LORD again calls Israel to sanctify themselves, distinguish clean from unclean, and remain separate from nations whose practices had brought judgment upon the land.
