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.

5 and those who are bowing down upon the roofs to the army of the heavens,+ and those who are bowing down,+ making sworn oaths to Jehovah+ and making sworn oaths by Malʹcam;*+

43 But it was the tent of Moʹloch+ and the star+ of the god Reʹphan that YOU took up, the figures which YOU made to worship them. Consequently I will deport+ YOU beyond Babylon.’*
