Punishment for Child Sacrifice

Leviticus 20

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 2 Likewise, thou shalt say to the sons of Israel, Any man of the sons of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel that gives any of his seed unto Molech shall surely die; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 And I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed unto Molech, contaminating my sanctuary and defiling my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land should hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed unto Molech, to not kill him, 5 then I will set my face against that man and against his family and will cut him off with all those that fornicated after him, prostituting themselves after Molech.

6 And the person that turns after spiritists or after diviners to prostitute themselves after them, I will even set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people. 7 Sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be ye holy, for I am the LORD your God. 8 And keep my statutes and do them. I AM he who sanctifies you. 9 For any man that curses his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
