וְשַׂמְתִּ֨י אֲנִ֧י אֶת־פָּנַ֛י בָּאִ֥ישׁ הַה֖וּא וּבְמִשְׁפַּחְתּ֑וֹ וְהִכְרַתִּ֨י אֹת֜וֹ וְאֵ֣ת ׀ כָּל־הַזֹּנִ֣ים אַחֲרָ֗יו לִזְנ֛וֹת אַחֲרֵ֥י הַמֹּ֖לֶךְ מִקֶּ֥רֶב עַמָּֽם׃
ce sera moi alors qui appliquerai mon regard sur cet homme et sur son engeance, et je retrancherai avec lui, du milieu de leur peuple, tous ceux qui, entraînés par lui, se seraient abandonnés au culte de Molokh.
Tosefta Sotah
Once the Sanhedrin ceased [to have jurisdiction to enforce criminal matters], song ceased from houses of feasting. But what good did the Sanhedrin perform on behalf of Israel (i.e., to merit the cessation of song)? Rather, as to this matter, as it is said (Lev. 20:4), "And if the people of the land should hide [their eyes from that man], etc." At first, when a man sinned, the Sanhedrin would fulfill its [function] and exact retribution upon him. Now [that the Sanhedrin no longer functions], [retribution is exacted both] upon him and his relatives, as it is said (Lev. 20:5), "And I will set my face against that man and his family, etc." They gave a parable: To what is this matter similar? To one who had committed a crime in the city. They handed him over to the strap-bearer, and he attempted to lash him. But he was too strong for the strap-bearer. So they handed him over to the rod-bearer, and he attempted to beat him. But he was too strong for the rod-bearer. So they handed him over to a centurion (katrin) who attempted to imprison him. But he was too strong for the centurion. So they handed him over to the ruler, who threw him into the furnace. So too with Israel. The later troubles cause the earlier ones to be forgotten.
