"You shall also say to the sons of Israel: ‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel ^(a)who gives any of his ^[a]offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; ^(b)the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his ^[b]offspring to Molech, ^(c)so as to defile My sanctuary and ^(d)to profane My holy name.

If the people of the land, however, ^[c]should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his ^[d]offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death,

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, by playing the harlot after Molech.
