Leviticus 20:1-5

Good News Translation

Penalties for Disobedience

20 The Lord told Moses ² to say to the people of Israel, “Any of you or any foreigner living among you who gives any children to be used in the worship of the god Molech shall be stoned to death by the whole community. ³ If any of you give one of your children to Molech and make my sacred Tent unclean and disgrace my holy name, I will turn against you and will no longer consider you my people. ⁴ But if the community ignores what you have done and does not put you to death, ⁵ I myself will turn against you and your whole family and against all who join you in being unfaithful to me and worshiping Molech. I will no longer consider any of you my people.
