1:5 Scripture denounced the practice of worshiping heavenly bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars (see Deut 4:15-19; 2 Kgs 21:3; 23:12). • Molech might refer to the Canaanite god Baal, the Ammonite god Milcom, or the pagan deity Molech. Although the law explicitly prohibited Molech worship (Lev 20:1-5), it remained a constant temptation to Israel (2 Kgs 16:3; 21:6).
