1. The Lord told Moses
2. to say to the community of Israel:Death by stoning is the penalty for any citizens or foreigners in the country who sacrifice their children to the god Molech.
3. They have disgraced both the place where I am worshipped and my holy name, and so I will turn against them and no longer let them belong to my people.
4. Some of you may let them get away with human sacrifice,
5. but not me. If any of you worship Molech, I will turn against you and your entire family, and I will no longer let you belong to my people.
6. I will be your enemy if you go to someone who claims to speak with the dead, and I will destroy you from among my people.
7. Dedicate yourselves to me and be holy because I am the Lord your God.
8. I have chosen you as my people, and I expect you to obey my laws.
