Context20:3 I myself will set my face 1 against that man and cut him off from the midst of his people, 2 because he has given some of his children to Molech and thereby defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. 3 20:4 If, however, the people of the land shut their eyes 4 to that man 5 when he gives some of his children to Molech so that they do not put him to death,
1 tn Heb “And I, I shall give my faces.”
