Which action is prohibited regarding Molech in the given commandment?

• A. Let thy seed pass through the fire to Molech.
• B. Sacrificing to Molech openly is permitted.
• C. Do not let thy seed pass through the fire to Molech.
• D. Do not profane the name of thy God.

Answer: (C)

This is about a prohibition focused on Molech worship, specifically the practice of child sacrifice. The commandment tells you not to let your seed pass through the fire to Molech, meaning you must not sacrifice your children to that deity. The option that directly mirrors this prohibition—stating not to allow such a rite to occur—is the best answer. It captures the exact instruction given, aligning with the idea that this kind of sacrifice is forbidden. The other options don’t fit because one describes the opposite action, another implies permission for Molech worship, and the last refers to a different commandment about honoring God’s name.
