Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 20:2

2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel , ▪ Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech , he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

Here follow the punishments of the crimes forbidden in the former chapters.

Not onely such as were Proselytes, but all others, these being gross immoralities▪ and such as the precepts of Noah reached to, and such as the laws of nature and nations obliged them to. And therefore the toleration of such actions was not onely against reason of state and the interest of the commonwealth of Israel, and dangerous to the infection and destruction of the Israelites by the imitation of such examples, but also against the light of nature and laws of humanity.

Or to any other Idol, for the reason of the law equally concerns all. See Levit. 18. 21.
