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.+

3 And as for me, I shall set my face against that man, and I will cut him off from among his people,+ because he has given some of his offspring to Moʹlech for the purpose of defiling my holy place+ and to profane my holy name.*+

3 and he should go and worship other gods and bow down to them or to the sun or the moon or all the army* of the heavens,+ a thing that I have not commanded,+

5 And they built the high places of the Baʹal in order to burn their sons in the fire as whole burnt offerings to the Baʹal,+ something that I had not commanded or spoken of,+ and that had not come up into my heart.”’+

35 Furthermore, they built the high places of Baʹal+ that are in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire]+ to Moʹlech,+ a thing that I did not command them,+ neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing,+ for the purpose of making Judah sin.’+
