“Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.”
I will set my face against him and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molek. The divine response to the community's passive complicity: God's face set against the violator and his family, and against all who follow him in the Molek worship. The family and community extension of the divine judgment communicates the corporate dimension of covenant violations: the family that enables child sacrifice and the community that tolerates it share in the divine opposition.
