Leviticus 18:21
21You shall not give any of your children to aoffer them ▼▼Hebrew to make them pass through [the fire]
to cMolech, and so dprofane the name of your God: I am the Lord. Leviticus 20:2-5
2“Say to the people of Israel, eAny one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 fI myself will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, to make my sanctuary gunclean and hto profane my holy name. 4And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not iput him to death, 5then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in jwhoring after Molech.1 Kings 11:33
33because they have ▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate he has; twice in this verse
forsaken me land worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and they have not walked in my ways, doing what is right in my sight and keeping my statutes and my rules, as David his father did. 2 Kings 23:12-13
12And the altars mon the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars nthat Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, he pulled down and broke in pieces ▼▼Hebrew pieces from there
and cast the dust of them pinto the brook Kidron. 13And the king defiled the high places that were east of Jerusalem, to the south of qthe mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for rAshtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for sChemosh the abomination of Moab, and for tMilcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
