Leviticus 20:1-5

International Children’s Bible

Warnings About Various Sins

20 The Lord said to Moses, ² “You must also tell the people of Israel these things: ‘A person in your country might give one of his children to Molech. That person must be killed. It doesn’t matter if he is a citizen or a foreigner living in Israel. You must throw stones at him and kill him. ³ I will be against him. I will separate him from his people. This is because he gave his children to Molech. He showed that he did not respect my holy name. And he made my Holy Place unclean. ⁴ The people of the community might ignore that person. They might not kill the one who gave his children to Molech. ⁵ But I will be against him and his family. I will separate him from his people. I will do this to anyone who is unfaithful to me and who worships Molech.
