Contextual Overview
1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 "You must also tell the people of Israel these things: ‘If a person in your country gives one of his children to Molech, that person must be killed. It doesn't matter if he is a citizen or a foreigner living in Israel; you must throw stones at him and kill him. 3 I will be against him and cut him off from his people, because he gave his children to Molech. He showed that he did not respect my holy name, and he made my Holy Place unclean. 4 The people of the community might ignore that person and not kill the one who gave his children to Molech. 5 But I will be against him and his family, and I will cut him off from his people. I will do this to anyone who follows him in being unfaithful to me by worshiping Molech. 6 "‘I will be against anyone who goes to mediums and fortune-tellers for advice, because that person is being unfaithful to me. So I will cut him off from his people. 7 "‘Be my holy people. Be holy because I am the Lord your God. 8 Remember and obey my laws. I am the Lord , and I have made you holy. 9 "‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother, so he has brought his own death on himself.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Sanctify yourselves therefore,.... By abstaining from such impious and idolatrous practices, and separating themselves from all that gave into them, as well as by observing the holy commandments of the Lord; otherwise internal sanctification is not the work of man, but of the Lord himself, as in Leviticus 20:8:
and be ye holy; or a separate people from all others in worship and conversation:
for I [am] the Lord your God; who is a holy God, and therefore it became them to be holy, in imitation of him, Leviticus 19:2.
