Kedoshim Hebrew Parsha – 5th Aliyah

Kedoshim (קְדֹשִׁים)

Leviticus 19:1 – 20:27

Fifth Aliyah



20:1
God spoke to Moses, telling him to
Vayedaber Adonay el-Moshe lemor.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר.

20:2
say the following to the Israelites: If any person, whether a [born] Israelite or a proselyte who joins Israel, gives any of his children to Molekh, he must be put to death. The local people must pelt him to death with stones.
Ve’el-beney Yisra’el tomar ish ish mibeney Yisra’el umin-hager hagar beYisra’el asher yiten mizar’o la-Molech mot yumat am ha’arets yirgemuhu va’aven.
וְאֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, תֹּאמַר, אִישׁ אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן-הַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יִתֵּן מִזַּרְעוֹ לַמֹּלֶךְ, מוֹת יוּמָת; עַם הָאָרֶץ, יִרְגְּמֻהוּ בָאָבֶן.

20:3
I will direct My anger against that person, and will cut him off [spiritually] from among his people, since he has given his children to Molekh, thus defiling that which is holy to Me and profaning My holy name.
Va’ani eten et-panay ba’ish hahu vehichrati oto mikerev amo ki mizar’o natan la-Molech lema’an tame et-mikdashi ulechalel et-shem kodeshi.
וַאֲנִי אֶתֵּן אֶת-פָּנַי, בָּאִישׁ הַהוּא, וְהִכְרַתִּי אֹתוֹ, מִקֶּרֶב עַמּוֹ: כִּי מִזַּרְעוֹ, נָתַן לַמֹּלֶךְ–לְמַעַן טַמֵּא אֶת-מִקְדָּשִׁי, וּלְחַלֵּל אֶת-שֵׁם קָדְשִׁי.

20:4
[Therefore,] if the people ignore the fact that this person has given his children to Molekh and they do not kill him,
Ve’im halem yalimu am ha’arets et-eyneyhem min-ha’ish hahu betito mizar’o la-Molech levilti hamit oto.
וְאִם הַעְלֵם יַעְלִימוּ עַם הָאָרֶץ אֶת-עֵינֵיהֶם, מִן-הָאִישׁ הַהוּא, בְּתִתּוֹ מִזַּרְעוֹ, לַמֹּלֶךְ–לְבִלְתִּי, הָמִית אֹתוֹ.

20:5
I will direct My anger against that person and his family. I will cut him off [spiritually] from among his people, along with all those who are misled by him to prostitute themselves to Molekh.
Vesamti ani et-panay ba’ish hahu uvemishpachto vehichrati oto ve’et kol-hazonim acharav liznot acharey haMolech mikerev amam.
וְשַׂמְתִּי אֲנִי אֶת-פָּנַי בָּאִישׁ הַהוּא, וּבְמִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ; וְהִכְרַתִּי אֹתוֹ וְאֵת כָּל-הַזֹּנִים אַחֲרָיו, לִזְנוֹת אַחֲרֵי הַמֹּלֶךְ–מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּם.

20:6
If a person turns to the mediums and oracles so as to prostitute himself to their ways, I will direct My anger against him, and cut him off [spiritually] from his people.
Vehanefesh asher tifneh el-ha’ovot ve’el-hayid’onim liznot achareyhem venatati et-panay banefesh hahi vehichrati oto mikerev amo.
וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ, אֲשֶׁר תִּפְנֶה אֶל-הָאֹבֹת וְאֶל-הַיִּדְּעֹנִים, לִזְנֹת, אַחֲרֵיהֶם–וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-פָּנַי בַּנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא, וְהִכְרַתִּי אֹתוֹ מִקֶּרֶב עַמּוֹ.

20:7
You must sanctify yourselves and be holy, for I am God your Lord.
Vehitkadishtem viheyitem kedoshim ki ani Adonay Eloheychem.
וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם–וִהְיִיתֶם, קְדֹשִׁים: כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה, אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.
