And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Mataron a gente inocente—sus propios hijos e hijas—ofreciéndolos como sacrificios a los dioses falsos de Canaán. La tierra quedó contaminada y profanada con sangre.
El pueblo contaminó la tierra al sacrificar a sus propios hijos a dioses falsos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse refers to the period when Israel had settled in the Promised Land but began adopting the horrific religious practices of the surrounding Canaanite peoples. Child sacrifice was practiced by various pagan religions in the ancient Near East, particularly in worship of gods like Molech and Baal. The Israelites, despite God's clear commands against such practices, gradually fell into these abominable customs, which was seen as the ultimate betrayal of their covenant with God.
