Prohibitions against Illegitimate Family Worship
20:1 The Lord spoke to Moses :
20:2 “You are to say to the Israelites , ‘Any man from the Israelites or from the foreigners who reside in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death ; the people of the land must pelt him with stones .
20:3 I myself will set my face against that man and cut him off from the midst of his people , because he has given some of his children to Molech and thereby defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name .
20:4 If , however, the people of the land shut their eyes to that man when he gives some of his children to Molech so that they do not put him to death ,
20:5 I myself will set my face against that man and his clan . I will cut off from the midst of their people both him and all who follow after him in spiritual prostitution , to commit prostitution by worshiping Molech .
