— Leviticus 20:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:”
“And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death; ”
“If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don't put him to death;”
“If, however, the people of the land shut their eyes to that man when he gives some of his children to Molech so that they do not put him to death,”
“And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:”
“And if the people of the land do not take note of that man when he gives his offspring to Molech, and do not put him to death,”
“And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:”
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
You shall speak these things to the sons of Israel: A man among the sons Israel, or among the newcomers who live in Israel, if he will have given from his seed to the idol Moloch, he shall be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him.
And I will set my face against him. And I will cut him down from the midst of his people, because he has given from his seed to Moloch, and he has contaminated my Sanctuary, and polluted my holy name.
But if the people of the land, having been neglectful and holding little regard for my authority, release the man who has given from his seed to Moloch, and they are not willing to kill him,
I will set my face over that man and over his kindred, and I will cut down both him and all who consented with him to fornicate with Moloch, from the midst of their people.
The soul who will have turned aside to astrologers and soothsayers, and who will have fornicated with them, I will set my face against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of his people.
Be sanctified and be holy, for I am the Lord your God.
