The penalty for offering children to Molech was death. Idol worship sometimes involved child sacrifice, and sometimes involved sexual debauchery. We can look back on these things with horror and amazement that people got involved in such things. Now consider what happens today with abortion. In this country close to 200 000 babies are aborted each year. Why is this? It is largely a result of our wanting sexual promiscuity without the consequences.
Consulting mediums and spiritists was outlawed. Other sins include cursing our parents, adultery. Then a list of various other sexual sins. The penalty for many of these was death.
These matters were treated with the utmost seriousness, hence the death penalty. We need to be aware that sexual immorality is utterly destructive.
