Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.

Leviticus 18:29, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

These are the LORD's words to Moses for the Israelites at Mount Sinai, as they prepare to enter Canaan. The chapter forbids the sexual sins and child sacrifice practiced by Egypt and Canaan, and verse 29 gives the penalty: the offender must be "cut off from among his people." This phrase likely means being removed from the covenant community, whether by expulsion, by execution, or by God's direct judgment.
