Imamat 20:3-4

20:3 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,

[20:3]  ¹ tn Heb “And I, I shall give my faces.”

[20:3]  ² sn On the “cut off” penalty see the notes on Lev 7:20 and 17:4.

[20:3]  ³ tn Heb “for the sake of defiling my sanctuary and to profane my holy name.”

[20:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “And if shutting [infinitive absolute] they shut [finite verb].” For the infinitive absolute used to highlight contrast rather than emphasis see GKC 343 §113.p.

[20:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “from that man” (so ASV); NASB “disregard that man.”
