Leviticus 18 commands and repetitions of capital penalties found elsewhere (by me)

blue = subject and sin; red = penalty. “Uncover the nakedness” = have sexual relations with. “Cut off” = put to death (apparently, but may mean from the congregation or sanctuary). It is doubtful “Cursed” in Dt. 27 always denotes the death penalty, but if so, it appears that v. 17 is the only mention of the death penalty being ordained for removing a neighbor's landmark, or making the blind to wander out of the way (v. 18), and would make any violation of the Mosaic law a capital sin (v. 26).

See more capital sins HERE. Adam Clarke's chapter summations are NEXT. A more detailed summation follows HERE
