# Molech, Moloch #
## Facts: ##
Molech was the name of one of the false gods that the Canaanites worshiped. Other spellings are "Moloch" and "Molek."
* People who worshiped Molech sacrificed their children to him by means of fire.
* Some of the Israelites also worshiped Molech instead of the one true God, Yahweh. They followed the evil practices of Molech worshipers, including sacrificing their children.
