Pensamiento judío sobre Levítico 20:2

וְאֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל תֹּאמַר֒ אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ֩ מִבְּנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל וּמִן־הַגֵּ֣ר ׀ הַגָּ֣ר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִתֵּ֧ן מִזַּרְע֛וֹ לַמֹּ֖לֶךְ מ֣וֹת יוּמָ֑ת עַ֥ם הָאָ֖רֶץ יִרְגְּמֻ֥הוּ בָאָֽבֶן׃

Dirás asimismo á los hijos de Israel:  Cualquier varón de los hijos de Israel, ó de los extranjeros que peregrinan en Israel, que diere de su simiente á Moloch, de seguro morirá:  el pueblo de la tierra lo apedreará con piedras.

Matteh Dan

The eighth principle: Anything that was included in a category, but was singled out to teach — it was not singled out to teach about itself, but was rather singled out to teach about the entire category. For example: Anyone among the Israelites, or among the strangers residing in Israel, who gives of his offspring to Molekh, shall be put to death; the people of the land shall pelt him with stones (Leviticus 20:3). Molekh was part of the category of idolatry. So why was it singled out? To compare to it and say [that] just like [the punishment for worshipping] Molekh is with stoning, so too is all idolatry with stoning.
