“‘ Do not hand over any of your children to be sacrificed to the god Molek. That would be treating my name as if it were not holy. I am the Lord your God.

The members of the community must kill him by throwing stones at him.I will turn against that man. I will separate him from his people. That’s because he has sacrificed his child to Molek. He has made my sacred tent“ unclean.” He has treated my name as if it were not holy.Suppose the members of the community act like they don’t know that the man has sacrificed his child to Molek. And suppose they don’t put him to death.Then I will turn against that man and his family. I will separate them from their people. I will also separate all those who follow him by joining themselves to Molek. They are not faithful to me.
