Commentary on Leviticus 20:6

Theological / Devotional

Familiar spirits. Those who sought in any way to contact the spirits or communicate with the dead were punished likewise (v. 27). As the death penalty is not mentioned in v. 6, it is supposed that in some cases it was left to the decision of the judges, according to the gravity of the offense. According to v. 27, the ordinary penalty was death. On the meaning of the term see on ch. 19:31.
