1599 Geneva Bible
19 (A) Thou shalt not also go unto a woman to uncover her shame, as long as she is put [a]apart for her disease.
20 Moreover, thou shalt not give thy self to thy neighbor’s wife by carnal copulation, to be defiled with her.
21 (B)Also thou shalt not give thy [b]children to [c]offer them unto [d]Molech, neither shalt thou defile the Name of thy God: for I am the Lord.

This seemed to be the chief and principal of all idols: and as the Jews write, was of a great stature, and hollow within, having seven places or chambers within him: one was to receive meal that was offered: another turtle doves: the third, a sheep: the fourth, a ram: the fifth a calf: the sixth an ox: the seventh a child. This idol’s face was like a calf: his hands were ever stretched out to receive gifts: his priests were called Chemarim, 2 Kings 23:5; Hos. 10:5; Zeph. 1:4.
