‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel ^awho gives any of his ^{▼▼ Lit seed}offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; ^cthe people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 ‘I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his ^{▼▼ Lit seed}offspring to Molech, ^eso as to defile My sanctuary and ^fto profane My holy name. 4 ‘If the people of the land, however, ^{▼▼ Lit hiding they hide their eyes from}should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his ^{▼▼ Lit seed}offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, 5 then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family, and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech.
