2 “You are to say to the Israelites, ‘Any man of Israel and any foreigner who resides in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Moʹlech should be put to death without fail.+ The people of the land should stone him to death.

7 It was then that Solʹo·mon built a high place+ to Cheʹmosh, the disgusting god of Moʹab, on the mountain in front of Jerusalem and to Moʹlech,+ the disgusting god of the Amʹmon·ites.+

10 He also made unfit for worship Toʹpheth,+ which is in the Valley of the Sons of Hinʹnom,*+ so that no one could make his son or his daughter pass through the fire to Moʹlech.+
