“ You are not to eat anything with blood in it. You are not to practice divination or sorcery.

“ You must not allow a sorceress to live.

You are worn out with your many consultations. So let them stand and save you— the astrologers, who observe the stars, who predict monthly what will happen to you.

You must not do the same to the Lord your God, because they practice every detestable thing, which the Lord hates, for their gods. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the Lord because he did not keep the Lord’s word. He even consulted a medium for guidance,

He made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did a great amount of evil in the Lord’s sight, provoking Him.

Saul then said to his servants,“ Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her.” His servants replied,“ There is a woman at En-dor who is a medium.”

“ Say to the Israelites: Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death; the people of the country are to stone him.I will turn against that man and cut him off from his people, because he gave his offspring to Molech, defiling My sanctuary and profaning My holy name.But if the people of the country look the other way when that man gives any of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death,then I will turn against that man and his family, and cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.

They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; so the land became polluted with blood.

You are to be holy to Me because I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be Mine.A man or a woman who is a medium or a spiritist must be put to death. They are to be stoned; their blood is on their own hands.”

“ You are not to make any of your children pass through the fire to Molech. Do not profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh.You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable.You are not to have sexual intercourse with any animal, defiling yourself with it; a woman is not to present herself to an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.“ Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things.The land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable things— not the native or the foreigner who lives among you.For the men who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable things, and the land has become defiled.If you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it has vomited out the nations that were before you.Any person who does any of these detestable practices must be cut off from his people.You must keep My instruction to not do any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them; I am Yahweh your God.”

The days are coming”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.

They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech— something I had not commanded them. I had never entertained the thought that they do this detestable act causing Judah to sin!
