Contextual Overview

¹ And the Lord said to Moses, ² Again, say to the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or any other man living in Israel, gives his offspring to Molech, he is certainly to be put to death: he is to be stoned by the people of the land; ³ And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common. ⁴ And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death, ⁵ Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people. ⁶ And whoever goes after those who make use of spirits and wonder-workers, doing evil with them, against him will my face be turned, and he will be cut off from among his people. ⁷ So make and keep yourselves holy, for I am the Lord your God. ⁸ And keep my rules and do them: I am the Lord, who make you holy. ⁹ Every man cursing his father or his mother is certainly to be put to death; because of his curse on his father or his mother, his blood will be on him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them,.... Not only those respecting the above things, but all others, which would be a means of preserving them from sin, and of promoting holiness in their lives and conversations:

I [am] the Lord which sanctify you: who had separated and distinguished them from all other people on earth, and who had given them holy laws, as the means of holiness; and who only could and did sanctify internally, by his Spirit and grace, such or them as were sanctified in heart, as well as outwardly.
