Child sacrifice in the Torah

Table of Contents

Introduction

When it comes to Jewish hypocrisy, almost nothing trumps the so-called moral stand on child sacrifice.  Indeed, if left unchecked, the Jews would have the world believe that their religion was the source for the abolition of all child sacrifice on earth, and that in respect to child murder the Jews are morally and ethically pristine.  But careful examination of the Torah proves that nothing could be further from the truth; the Jewish religion is indeed replete with child sacrifice.  While Jews are prohibited from sacrificing their children to other gods they are commanded to murder their children in the name of their own god. There is even an instance in the Torah where a Jewish invader burns his daughter as a victory sacrifice to the god of Israel. The Jewish god has absolutely no reservations against killing children for his sake. Though the myriad of commands to kill disbelievers and rebels throughout the Torah applies to children as well as adults, there are at least two examples in the Bible where commands to kill for the Jewish god were directed toward children.  The first example comes from the book of Exodus where a son of an Israelite woman blasphemed against the Judeo-Christian god and was commanded to be stoned to death. The second is a command in the book of Zechariah which calls parents to run their children through with swords if they prophecy in the name of another god.  Both of these instances of child sacrifice were for the Judeo-Christian god and neither involved fire, so these child murders are deemed appropriate by Biblical Standards

Don’t sacrifice children (to other gods)

The Bible does have prohibitions against child sacrifice, but the prohibition is against sacrificing children to other gods. The Israelites had no reservations against killing their children in the name of their own god as you will see.


Do not give children “to Molech” 
“Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.” - Leviticus 18:21

Do not sacrifice children “to Molech”

“The Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites: ‘Any Israelite or any foreigner residing in Israel who sacrifices any of his children to Molek is to be put to death. The members of the community are to stone him.  I myself will set my face against him and will cut him off from his people; for by sacrificing his children to Molek, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. If the members of the community close their eyes when that man  sacrifices one of his children to Molek and if they fail to put him to death, I myself will set my face against him and his family and will cut them off from their people together with all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molek.” Leviticus 20:1-5

Don’t sacrifice children (by fire)

Besides its prohibitions against sacrificing children to other gods, the Judeo-Christian religion seems to be particular that people should not kill their children with fire (except for certain instances).  You will see that the preferred method of child sacrifice in Bible is stoning or impaling.

Do not sacrifice children “in fire” 
“Let no one be found  among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft” - Deuteronomy 18:10

Heathens “burn” their children (Israelites stone their children) 
“You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.” - Deuteronomy 12:31

Killing children for the Biblical god

Stoned to death for blasphemy

“The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) 12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them. 13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.” – Leviticus 24: 11-14

Kill your children for prophesying in the name of another god

"It will happen that, when anyone still prophesies, then his father and his mother who bore him will tell him, ‘You must die, because you speak lies in Yahweh’s name;’ and his father and his mother who bore him will stab him when he prophesies".  - Zechariah 13:3

Kill Rebellious Children 

"If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen to them; then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place.  They shall tell the elders of his city, “This our son is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey our voice. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. All Israel shall hear, and fear." - Deuteronomy 21: 18-21

Jephthah burns his daughter
(legal child sacrifice in the Bible)

Yet even in the Bible itself there are exceptions to the rule against burning one’s children with fire.  In the book of Judges, an Israelite invader in the land of Canaan named Jephthah burns his own daughter as a victory sacrifice over the Ammonites after  making a vow to offer up the first “thing” that greeted him upon his return from the slaughter. This first “thing” just so happened to be his daughter

“At that time the Spirit of the LORD  came upon  Jephthah, and he went throughout the land of Gilead and Manasseh, including Mizpah in Gilead, and led an army against the Ammonites. And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD. He said, “If you give me victory over the Ammonites, I will give to the LORD  the first thing coming out of my house to greet me when I return in triumph. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering. So Jephthah led his army against the Ammonites, and the LORD  gave him victory. He thoroughly defeated the Ammonites from Aroer to an area near Minnith – twenty towns – and as far away  as Abel-keramim. Thus Israel subdued the Ammonites. When Jephthah returned home to Mizpah, his daughter – his only child – ran out to meet him, playing on a tambourine and dancing for joy. When he saw her, he tore his clothes in anguish. “My daughter!” he cried out. “My heart is breaking! What  a tragedy that you came out to greet me. For I have made a vow to the LORD  and cannot take it back.” And she said, “Father, you have made a promise to the LORD. You  must do to me what you have promised, for the LORD  has given you a great victory over your enemies, the Ammonites. But first let me go up and roam  in the hills and weep with my friends for two months, because I will die a virgin.” “You may  go,” Jephthah said. And he let her go away  for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never have children. When she returned home, her father kept his vow, and she died a virgin. So it has become a custom in Israel for young Israelite women to go away  for four days each year to lament the fate of Jephthah’s daughter.” (Judges 11:29- 40)

Commands to kill Pagans in the Torah

Table of Contents

The Torah is extremely anti-Pagan, it calls for the murder of pagans, the destruction of their nations, and dehumanizes pagans as being "defiled" and prostitutes.  Jews who abandon the god of Israel for foreign worship are murdered, including children. There are several stories in the Torah glorifying the genocide of Pagans.

Commands To Kill Pagans 

Kill Those Who Worship Other Gods

“6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people.10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.” - Deuteronomy 13:6-11

Stone To Death Those Who Lead Others To Foreign Worship

“2 If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the Lord gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God in violation of his covenant, 3 and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars in the sky, 4 and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.” - Deuteronomy 17:2-5

Kill And Destroy Entire Towns Of Those Who Worship Other Gods

“13 that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods you have not known), 14 then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you, 15 you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock. 16 You are to gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. That town is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt, 17 and none of the condemned things] are to be found in your hands. Then the Lord will turn from his fierce anger, will show you mercy, and will have compassion on you. He will increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your ancestors— 18 because you obey the Lord your God by keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right in his eyes.” - Deuteronomy 13:13-19

Death To Accurate Psychics Of Other Gods

“If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. 5 That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.” - Deuteronomy 13:1-5

Death To “False Prophets”

“But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.” 21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.” - Deuteronomy 18:20-22

Kill Unrecogniz ed Prophets, Even Your Own Children

“If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, “You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord.” When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through.”  - Zechariah 13:3

Kill Mediums

“And as for a man or woman in whom there proves to be a mediumistic spirit or spirit of prediction, they should be put to death without fail. They should pelt them to death with stones. There own blood is upon them.” - Leviticus 20:27

“10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.”  - Deuteronomy 18:10-12

“You must not preserve a sorceress alive” - Exodus 22:18

Death For Blasphemy

“10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) 12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them. 13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; 16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.” - Leviticus 24:10-16

Destroy Pagan Nations

“16 You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you. 17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?” 18 But do not be afraid of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt. 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear. 20 Moreover, theLord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. 22 The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 24 He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.” - Deuteronomy 7:16-24

Drive Out Pagan Nations

“When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are all more powerful than you.  When the LORD your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them, and don’t let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters.  They will lead your young  people away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and he will destroy you.”  - Deuteronomy 7:1-4

No Sacrifices To Others Gods

“7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’ 8 “You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice, 9 and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to Yahweh; that man shall be cut off from his people.” – Leviticus 17: 7-9

The people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 Israel joined himself to Baal Peor. Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel. 4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up to Yahweh before the sun, that the fierce anger of Yahweh may turn away from Israel.” – Numbers 25: 1-4, World English Bible

STORIES FROM THE BIBLE
 GLORIFYING THE MURDER OF PAGANS

The Tribe of Dan Murders And Burns The Peaceful Tribe Of Laish

“27 Then they took what Micah had made, and his priest, and went on to Laish, against a people at peace and secure. They attacked them with the sword and burned down their city. 28 There was no one to rescue them because they lived a long way from Sidon and had no relationship with anyone else. The city was in a valley near Beth Rehob. The Danites rebuilt the city and settled there. 29 They named it Dan after their ancestor Dan, who was born to Israel—though the city used to be called Laish.” - Judges 18:27-29, NIV

Jeroboam says Josiah will sacrifice the Pagan priests

“By the word of the Lord a man of God came from Judah to Bethel, as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering.  By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar: “Altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’” - 1 Kings 13:1-2, NIV

Josiah kills the Pagan priests as Jeroboam said

“Josiah slaughtered all the priests of those high places on the altars and burned human bones on them. Then he went back to Jerusalem. The king gave this order to all the people: “Celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.” Neither in the days of the judges who led Israel nor in the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah had any such Passover been observed. But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was celebrated to the Lord in Jerusalem. Furthermore, Josiah got rid of the mediums and spiritists, the household gods, the idols and all the other detestable things seen in Judah and Jerusalem. This he did to fulfill the requirements of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the temple of the Lord. Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turnedto the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses.” - 2 Kings 23: 20-25, NIV

Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will release her. 13 Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself. 14 But if her husband says nothing to her about it from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or the pledges binding on her. He confirms them by saying nothing to her when he hears about them. 15 If, however, he nullifies them some time after he hears about them, then he must bear the consequences of her wrongdoing.” 16 These are the regulations the Lord gave Moses concerning relationships between a man and his wife, and between a father and his young daughter still living at home. - Numbers 30:3-16, NIV
