Leviticus 20:6-7

⁶Ang isang taong pumupunta sa mga nakikipag-usap sa patay, o sa mga nakikipag-usap sa mga espiritu para isama ang kanilang sarili ssa kanila, haharap ako laban sa taong iyon; tatanggalin ko siya mula sa kanyang bayan.a

⁷Kaya ialay ninyo ang inyong mga sarili kay Yahweh at maging banal, dahil ako si Yahweh ang inyong Diyos.b

Leviticus 20 continues the theme of holiness established in previous chapters, specifically by outlining severe penalties for various sexual sins and idolatry, particularly child sacrifice to Molech. This chapter underscores the absolute necessity of Israel's moral purity to maintain their covenant relationship with God and remain distinct from the surrounding pagan nations. The repeated call for holiness—“You must be holy because I am holy”—serves as both a command and a foundational principle for the entire legal code, demonstrating that God's character demands a corresponding lifestyle from His people.
