Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 20:1
This chapter covers much of the same ground covered in Leviticus 18, with this difference, that the things understood as "sins" there are here regarded as "crimes" to be punished by the severest penalties. Full comment upon all of these sins was made in Leviticus 18, with the exception of "cursing" father or mother (Leviticus 20:9), and will not need to be repeated here. The sin/crime of passing infants through the fire to Molech is elaborated here."And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 20:6
"And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am Jehovah your God. And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you. For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 20:1-5
Leviticus 20:1-5. And the Lord spake, &c.— In ch. Lev 18:21 this dedication of children to Molech, is forbidden in more general terms. It is there said, thou shalt not let any of thy offspring pass through the fire to Molech: where the reader will observe, that the words, the fire, are in Italics, and, consequently, not in the Hebrew. Accordingly, Houbigant is of opinion that the phrase signifies to become servants to; and that it expresses dedicating children in perpetual servitude to the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 20:2-5
Leviticus 20:2. Shall stone him, &c.— Compare Deuteronomy 7:2; Deuteronomy 7:26. Who, upon the face of these laws, could ever attempt to support so absurd a notion, as that idolatry was tolerated among the Jews? Yet such is the hypothesis of the admirable Voltaire! Bishop Warburton upon this law observes, that there were two cases in which the offender, here described, might escape punishment: first, when the crime could not be legally proved; or, secondly, when the magistrate was remiss in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 20:2
2. Whosoever . . . giveth any of his seed unto Molech—(See on :-). the people of the land shall stone him with stones, c.—Criminals who were condemned to be stoned were led, with their hands bound, without the gates to a small eminence, where was a large stone placed at the bottom. When they had approached within ten cubits of the spot, they were exhorted to confess, that, by faith and repentance, their souls might be saved. When led forward to within four cubits, they were stripped almost... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 20:4
4. If the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, &c.—that is, connive at their countrymen practising the horrid rites of Molech. Awful was it that any Hebrew parents could so violate their national covenant, and no wonder that God denounced the severest penalties against them and their families. read more
