“Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone that person with stones.

If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and don’t put him to death,
