Midrash for Leviticus 20:4
וְאִ֡ם הַעְלֵ֣ם יַעְלִימֽוּ֩ עַ֨ם הָאָ֜רֶץ אֶת־עֵֽינֵיהֶם֙ מִן־הָאִ֣ישׁ הַה֔וּא בְּתִתּ֥וֹ מִזַּרְע֖וֹ לַמֹּ֑לֶךְ לְבִלְתִּ֖י הָמִ֥ית אֹתֽוֹ׃
And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death;
Sifra
7) This tells me only of kosher seed. Whence do I derive (the same) for seed that is pasul (such as a mamzer)? From (Vayikra 20:4) "when he gives of his seed to the Molech" — all seed.

Sifra
9) (Vayikra 20:4) ("And if the people of the land avert, they shall avert their eyes from that man when he gives of his seed to the Molech, not to kill him.") Whence is it derived that if they "avert" in one thing, they shall "avert" in many things? From "And if avert, they shall avert."

10) And whence is it derived that if one beth-din averts (its eyes), many batei-din are destined to do so? From "And if avert, they shall avert."
