Ezekiel 16:20-21

16:20 “‘You took your sons and your daughters whom you bore to me and you sacrificed them 1  as food for the idols to eat. As if your prostitution not enough, 16:21 you slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols. 2 

Ezekiel 16:36

16:36 This is what the sovereign Lord says: Because your lust 3  was poured out and your nakedness was uncovered in your prostitution with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children you have given to them,

1 sn The sacrifice of children was prohibited in Lev 18:21; 20:2; Deut 12:31; 18:10.

2 tn Heb “and you gave them, by passing them through to them.” Some believe this alludes to the pagan practice of making children pass through the fire.

3 tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.
