21 “‘And you must not allow the devoting*+ of any of your offspring to Moʹlech.+ You must not profane+ the name of your God that way. I am Jehovah.+

35 Furthermore, they built the high places of Baʹal+ that are in the valley of the son of Hinʹnom,*+ in order to make their sons and their daughters pass through [the fire]+ to Moʹlech,+ a thing that I did not command them,+ neither did it come up into my heart to do this detestable thing,+ for the purpose of making Judah sin.’+
