Leviticus 20:1-5
1599 Geneva Bible
20 2 They that give of their seed to Molech, must die. 6 They that have recourse to sorcerers. 10 The man that committeth adultery, 11 incest, or fornication with the kindred or affinity. 24 Israel a peculiar people to the Lord.
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Thou shalt say also to the children of Israel, (A)Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that dwell in Israel, that giveth his children unto [a]Molech, he shall die the death, the people of the land shall stone him to death.
3 And I will [b]set my face against that man and cut him off from among his people, because he hath given his children unto Molech, for to defile my Sanctuary, and to pollute mine holy Name.
4 And if the [c]people of the land hide their eyes, and wink at that man when he giveth his children unto Molech, and kill him not,
5 Then will I set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
