Leviticus 20:2-5
“ Give the people of Israel these instructions, which apply both to native Israelites and to the foreigners living in Israel.“ If any of them offer their children as a sacrifice to Molech, they must be put to death. The people of the community must stone them to death.I myself will turn against them and cut them off from the community, because they have defiled my sanctuary and brought shame on my holy name by offering their children to Molech.And if the people of the community ignore those who offer their children to Molech and refuse to execute them,I myself will turn against them and their families and will cut them off from the community. This will happen to all who commit spiritual prostitution by worshiping Molech.
