"Do not give any of your children to deliver to Molech"—Leviticus 18:21.
We are prohibited to "give from our children to Molech."
In ancient times, there was a pagan deity known as Molech. The Molech religion demanded that its followers engage in a barbaric ritual: Parents would present some of their children to the Molech priests, and then, with the permission of these priests, the parents would pass their children over a raging bonfire.
