The Heathen God

In English, the name is translated to Molek, Molech, or Moloch. The scriptures strongly condemn practices that are associated with Moloch, especially that of child sacrifice. Traditionally, Moloch has been understood as referring to a 𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍𐤉 (Kanaānay) god. The activity of causing children “to pass over the fire” is mentioned, without reference to Moloch, in numerous other verses of the scriptures, but refers to the same thing.

However, some scholars have debated whether or not the term refers to a type of sacrifice on the basis of a similar term, also spelled mlk, which means “sacrifice” in the Punic language. Moloch has often been portrayed as a bull-headed idol with outstretched hands over a fire; this depiction takes the brief mentions of Moloch in the scriptures and combines them with various sources, including ancient accounts of Carthaginian child sacrifice and the legend of the Minotaur.

Some scholars have proposed that Moloch may be the same god as Milcom, Adad-Milki, or an epithet for . Some connect Moloch with a deity Mlk attested at Ugarit and Malik attested in Mesopotamia and proposes that he was a god of the underworld, as in Mesopotamia Malik is twice equated with the underworld god Nergal.

Also, 𐤉𐤔𐤏𐤉𐤄 (Yashaāyah) seems to associate Moloch with 𐤔𐤀𐤅𐤋 (Shaual). The Ugaritic deity Mlk also appears to be associated with the underworld, and the similarly named Phoenician god Melqart (literally “king of the city”) could have underworld associations if “city” is understood to mean “underworld.” There was also possibly an Akkadian term maliku referring to the shades of the dead.
