He who brought his child, the priests would say that he is offering the greatest sacrifice. He would enter the innermost chamber and go kiss the Molech... The priests would then take the child and place it near the Molech. They would then bang with drums to drown out the cries.
All of the Molech business is in question by scholars - children may have been offered by not actually killed. There is no actual consensus as to Molech and any practices.
In fact, Molech may have referred to not a deity, but to a particular ritual imported into the Jewish religion of that time.
Not a valid argument since there are too many questions arising around ‘mlk’ or Molech- was it even a religion?
