1 The LORD spoke to Moses, 2 |Tell the Israelites: If Israelites or foreigners living among you give one of their children as a sacrifice to [the god] Molech, they must be put to death. The common people must stone them to death. 3 I will condemn them and exclude them from the people. They gave one of their children to Molech, made my holy tent unclean, and dishonored my holy name. 4 If the common people ignore those who give their children to Molech and do not put them to death, 5 I will condemn them and their families. I will exclude them from the people. I will exclude from the people everyone who chases after Molech as if he were a prostitute. 6 |I will condemn people who turn to mediums and psychics and chase after them as though they were prostitutes. I will exclude them from the people. 7 |Live holy lives. Be holy because I am the LORD your God. 8 Obey my laws, and live by them. I am the LORD who sets you apart as holy.
