In sharp contrast with the Israelites, the inhabitants of Canaan offered their children as sacrifices to their gods, including the Ammonite god called Molech, also known as Milcom or Moloch.
Krejt ndryshe nga izraelitët, banorët e Kanaanit i flijonin fëmijët e tyre për perënditë, siç ishte edhe perëndia amonit me emrin Molek, i njohur edhe si Milkom ose Molok.
