Sefer Hamitzvot for Children

By Malka Touger

Negative Commandment 7 (For Children)

"Molech" - A specific form of idol-worship

Leviticus 18:21 "Do not give any of your children to set them apart to Molech"

In ancient times, the worship of "Molech" - an Ammonite G-d - was very common.

The worship of Molech required that children be used for the ritual ceremony. We are forbidden to practice this specific type of idol-worship.
