Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. (Leviticus 20:2)

Unto Molech.

This was not merely a dedication of the child to Molech, but was an actual sacrifice of the children as a burnt offering (2 Kings 23:10; Jer. 32:35; see Jer. 7:31; 19:5; Eze. 16:21; 23:37). For a discussion of the word “Molech” see on ch. 18:21.
