The LORD gave the following regulations. Any of you that curse your father or mother shall be put to death; you are responsible for your own death.

A man who has intercourse with one of his father's wives disgraces his father, and both he and the woman shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death.

If a man has sexual relations with another man, they have done a disgusting thing, and both shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death.

So I solemnly declare to you this very day: if any of you should be lost, I am not responsible.

So I went up to him and killed him, because I knew that he would die anyway as soon as he fell. Then I took the crown from his head and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them to you, sir."
