BRAGADAYJAH 341
Prohibition against Human
Sacrifices
Now the Lord told Moses to
speak to the children of Israel and warn them against human sacrifices, and
other idolatrous practices.
So God said, “Whosoever of
the children of Israel or any person who dwells among them, who offers his
child to Molech, shall be killed by being stoned to death by the people of the
land. And God said, “I will set my face
against that man and will cut him off from among my people because he has
sacrificed his child to Molech, thereby defiling my sanctuary, and profaning my
holy name.”
“And if the people of the
land in any way turn a blind eye to that man, and stone him not, then I will
set my face not only against that man, but his family, and all that allow him
to play the harlot by sacrificing to Molech.”
“In addition anyone that
turns and follows after anyone that has a familiar spirit, or after wizards to
play the harlot after them, I will cut off from among my people.”
Therefore, said the Lord, “Sanctify
yourselves and be ye holy, for I am the Lord your God. Keep my statutes and do
them; for I am the Lord who sanctifies you.”
