平安：
聖經中第一次出現摩洛這個詞
是在利未紀十八21節
--不可使你的兒女經火歸與摩洛
而摩洛，是一個偶像的名稱
是亞捫人所信靠的神
--亞捫，是羅得的小女兒將父親灌醉後，與之同寢而生下的孩子
大女兒生了摩押的始祖，小女兒生了亞捫的始祖
摩洛的意思是國族的神
信奉者常用火燒自己的孩子當作祭物獻上

補充說明:
摩洛 是迦南人所拜的神祇
祭祀摩洛的方法雖有不同說法，但確有以兒童做火祭的事
一說將兒童拋入烈焰中獻神
另一說認為 摩洛像用金屬鑄成，燒至熾熱，然後將祭祀的兒童放在摩洛的手臂上灼死。
孟子牧師 的回答：
Moloch (as some think) was the idol in and by which they worshipped the sun, that great fire of the world; and therefore in the worship of it they made their own children either sacrifices to this idol, burning them to death before it, or devotees to it, causing them to pass between two fires, as some think, or to be thrown through one, to the honour of this pretended deity, imagining that the consecrating of but one of their children in this manner to Moloch would procure good fortune for all the rest of their children. Did idolaters thus give their own children to false gods, and shall we think any thing too dear to be dedicated to, or to be parted with for, the true God? See how this sin of Israel (which they were afterwards guilty of, notwithstanding this law) is aggravated by the relation which they and their children stood in to God. Eze_16:20, Thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these thou hast sacrificed. Therefore it is here called profaning the name of their God; for it looked as if they thought they were under greater obligations to Moloch than to Jehovah; for to him they offered their cattle only, but to Moloch their children.
