Leviticus 20:1 In-Context

1 The Lord spoke to Moses:

2 "Say to the Israelites: Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death; the people of the country are to stone him.

3 I will turn against that man and cut him off from his people, because he gave his offspring to Molech, defiling My sanctuary and profaning My holy name.

4 But if the people of the country look the other way when that man gives any of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death,

5 then I will turn against that man and his family, and cut off from their people both him and all who follow him, prostituting themselves with Molech.
