"You shall also say to the sons of Israel: 'Any man from the sons of Israel or from the sojourners sojourning in Israel who gives any of his seed to Molech shall surely be put to death; the 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 _those who are_ his seed to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
If the people of the land, however, should ever turn a blind eye to that man when he gives any of _those who are_ his seed 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, in playing the harlot after Molech.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6

'As for the person who turns to mediums and to spiritists, to play the harlot after them, I will also set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.
