God established ethical principles and required serious penalties for flagrant sins to separate His people from the evil practices of foreign nations:

• Those who offer their children to Molech will be cut off from among the people (v. 2-5)

• Those who follow witches and familiar spirits will be cut off from among the people (v. 6)

• Those who curse their father and mother shall be put to death (v. 9)

• Those who commit adultery shall be put to death (v. 10)

• Those who have sexual relations with a relative other than a spouse shall be put to death (v. 11-12, 14)

• Men who have relationships with men shall be put to death (v. 13)

• Those who commit bestiality shall be put to death (v. 15-16)

• Those who uncover the nakedness of a relative shall be penalized (v. 17, 19-21)
