* Read these verses carefully.

* This is an alarming charge God is giving the people.

* If they don’t exercise justice toward the man who offered his kids to Molech, then God Himself would deal with this man AND his family.

* Did you catch that?

* If the man was dealt with properly then it didn’t affect his family.

* But if he wasn’t then it would cost his family their lives.

* So the lives of his family were in the hands of the people!

* This is an extraordinary responsibility God places on leaders.
