## Leviticus 20:7-8 in Context (Verses 4–11 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/4) And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
 
 [5 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/5) Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/6) ¶ And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/7) ¶ Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I *am* the LORD your God.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/8) And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I *am* the LORD which sanctify you.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/9) ¶ For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood *shall be* upon him.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/10) ¶ And the man that committeth adultery with *another* man’s wife, *even he* that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/leviticus/20/11) And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood *shall be* upon them.
