21 “‘And you must not allow the devoting*+ of any of your offspring to Moʹlech.+ You must not profane+ the name of your God that way. I am Jehovah.+

2 “You are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘Any man of the sons of Israel, and any alien resident who resides as an alien in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Moʹlech,*+ should be put to death without fail. The people of the land should pelt him to death with stones.

17 and they continued to make their sons and their daughters pass through the fire+ and to practice divination+ and to look for omens,+ and they kept selling+ themselves to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, to offend+ him;

10 And he made unfit for worship Toʹpheth,*+ which is in the valley of the sons of Hinʹnom,*+ that no one might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire+ to Moʹlech.+
