IV. Adultery, incest and bestiality forbidden (Lev. 20:10-21)

Meditation Points:
- Interpreters are divided concerning the precise Molech ritual. Was this a sex orgy, or does “seed” refer to children? Were children burnt alive, or did they walk between two flames?
- It appears from 2 Kings 16:2-3 and 2 Kings 16:20 that Hezekiah was thus dedicated to Molech as a child.
- Please note the death penalty for adultery, incest and bestiality (10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16). God hates sin.
- Those who belong to God must not live as do those who don’t know God (22-24).
- How holy is God? Be holy, as He is holy.
