And they have built the shrines of Topheth in the Valley of Ben-hinnom: Our Rabbis, may their memory be blessed, said that even though all the houses of idolatry were in Jerusalem, the Molekh was outside of Jerusalem in a distant place. And how was it made? There was an image, and it had seven enclosures, and it was in the middle of them. It had the face of a calf, and its hands were extended like those of a person who opens his hand to receive [something] from his fellow. And they would stoke the fire from inside, as it was hollow. And every person would enter according to his sacrifice. How is that? Whoever had a bird would go into the first enclosure and sacrifice; lambs, the second; a sheep, the third; a calf, the fourth; a cow, the fifth; a bull, the sixth. But one who sacrificed his child would be brought into the seventh and would kiss it. And it is about this that it is stated: those who sacrifice men kiss calves (Hoshea 13:2). Then they would place the child in front of the Molekh and would stoke a fire inside [of it] until its hands were bright as a light and take the infant, and put him into its hands. And they would bring drums and bang on them with a great din so that the voice of the youth would not go out and the father hear and his innards become revolted. And why was its name called Ben-hinnom? Because the voice of the child would be moaning [nohem] from the force of the fire.
