Leviticus 20:3

Context
20:3 I myself will set my face 1  against that man and cut him off from the midst of his people, 2  because he has given some of his children to Molech and thereby defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. 3 

Leviticus 20:6

Context
Prohibition against Spiritists and Mediums 4 

20:6 “‘The person who turns to the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits 5  to commit prostitution by going after them, I will set my face 6  against that person and cut him off from the midst of his people.

Leviticus 20:10

Context
20:10 If a man 7  commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, 8  both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death.

1 tn Heb “And I, I shall give my faces.”

2 sn On the “cut off” penalty see the notes on Lev 7:20 and 17:4.

3 tn Heb “for the sake of defiling my sanctuary and to profane my holy name.”

4 sn For structure and coherence in Lev 20:6-27 see the note on v. 27 below.

5 tn See the note on the phrase “familiar spirits” in Lev 19:31 above.

6 tn Heb “I will give my faces.”

7 tn Heb “And a man who.” The syntax here and at the beginning of the following verses elliptically mirrors that of v. 9, which justifies the rendering as a conditional clause.

8 tc The reading of the LXX minuscule mss has been followed here (see the BHS footnote a-a). The MT has a dittography, repeating “a man who commits adultery with the wife of” (see the explanation in J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 328). The duplication found in the MT is reflected in some English versions, e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV.
