² Speak thou these things to the sons of Israel, If any man of the sons of Israel, and of the comelings that dwell in Israel, giveth of his seed to the idol Moloch, die he by death; the people of the land shall stone him.

(I shall set my face against that man, and against his kindred, and I shall cut off him, and all who consented to him, yea, they who would do fornication, that is, idolatry, with Molech, from the midst of their people.)

⁶ If a man boweth to astronomers (or to astrologers), and to false diviners, and doeth fornication with them, I shall set my face against him, and I shall slay him (or cut him off) from the midst of his people.

³ and I — I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute My holy name.

⁴ 'And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,

⁵ then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.

⁶ 'And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.

⁷ 'And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I am Jehovah your God;

⁸ and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I am Jehovah, sanctifying you.
