Bible Passages About Ritual Human Sacrifice
Jephthah Burns His Daughter
"At that time the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he
went throughout the land of Gilead and Manasseh, including Mizpah in
Gilead, and led an army against the Ammonites. And Jephthah made a
vow to the LORD. He said, "If you give me victory over the Ammonites,
I will give to the LORD the first thing coming out of my house to
greet me when I return in triumph. I will sacrifice it as a burnt
offering."
"So Jephthah led his army against the Ammonites, and the LORD gave
him victory. He thoroughly defeated the Ammonites from Aroer to an
area near Minnith - twenty towns - and as far away as Abel-keramim.
Thus Israel subdued the Ammonites. When Jephthah returned home to
Mizpah, his daughter - his only child - ran out to meet him, playing
on a tambourine and dancing for joy. When he saw her, he tore his
clothes in anguish. "My daughter!" he cried out. "My heart is
breaking! What a tragedy that you came out to greet me. For I have
made a vow to the LORD and cannot take it back." And she said,
"Father, you have made a promise to the LORD. You must do to me what
you have promised, for the LORD has given you a great victory over
your enemies, the Ammonites. But first let me go up and roam in the
hills and weep with my friends for two months, because I will die a
virgin." "You may go," Jephthah said. And he let her go away for two
months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she
would never have children. When she returned home, her father kept
his vow, and she died a virgin. So it has become a custom in Israel
for young Israelite women to go away for four days each year to lament
the fate of Jephthah's daughter." (Judges 11:29-40 NLT)
God Commands Burning Humans
[The Lord speaking] "The one who has stolen what was set apart
for destruction will himself be burned with fire, along with
everything he has, for he has broken the covenant of the LORD and has
done a horrible thing in Israel." (Joshua 7:15 NLT)
Josiah and Human Sacrifice
At the LORD's command, a man of God from Judah went to Bethel, and
he arrived there just as Jeroboam was approaching the altar to offer a
sacrifice. Then at the LORD's command, he shouted, "O altar, altar!
This is what the LORD says: A child named Josiah will be born into the
dynasty of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests from the pagan
shrines who come here to burn incense, and human bones will be burned
on you." (1 Kings 13:1-2 NLT)
He [Josiah] executed the priests of the pagan shrines on their own
altars, and he burned human bones on the altars to desecrate them.
Finally, he returned to Jerusalem. King Josiah then issued this order
to all the people: "You must celebrate the Passover to the LORD your
God, as it is written in the Book of the Covenant." There had not
been a Passover celebration like that since the time when the judges
ruled in Israel, throughout all the years of the kings of Israel and
Judah. This Passover was celebrated to the LORD in Jerusalem during
the eighteenth year of King Josiah's reign. Josiah also exterminated
the mediums and psychics, the household gods, and every other kind of
idol worship, both in Jerusalem and throughout the land of Judah. He
did this in obedience to all the laws written in the scroll that
Hilkiah the priest had found in the LORD's Temple. Never before had
there been a king like Josiah, who turned to the LORD with all his
heart and soul and strength, obeying all the laws of Moses. And there
has never been a king like him since. (2 Kings 23:20-25 NLT)
Human Sacrifice
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God
tried them and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace,
he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself.
In the time of their visitation they shall shine, and shall dart about
as sparks through stubble; (Wisdom 3:5-7 NAB The Book of The Wisdom
of Solomon is mostly in Catholic versions of the Bible.)
Child Sacrifice
And this became a hidden trap for mankind, because men, in bondage
to misfortune or to royal authority, bestowed on objects of stone or
wood the name that ought not to be shared. Afterward it was not
enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but they live in
great strife due to ignorance, and they call such great evils peace.
For whether they kill children in their initiations, or celebrate
secret mysteries, or hold frenzied revels with strange customs...
(Wisdom 14:21-23 RSV) The Book of The Wisdom of Solomon is mostly in
Catholic versions of the Bible. This passage condemns human sacrifice
but acknowledges that it did happen by early God worshipers.
Humans are Fuel for Fire
As for you, son of man, prophesy: Thus says the Lord GOD against
the Ammonites and their insults: A sword, a sword is drawn for
slaughter, burnished to consume and to flash lightning, because you
planned with false visions and lying divinations to lay it on the
necks of depraved and wicked men whose day has come when their crimes
are at an end. Return it to its sheath! In the place where you were
created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you. I will pour
out my indignation upon you, breathing my fiery wrath upon you, I will
hand you over to ravaging men, artisans of destruction. You shall be
fuel for the fire, your blood shall flow throughout the land. You
shall not be remembered, for I, the LORD, have spoken. (Ezekiel
21:33-37 NAB)
Burn Nonbelievers
"Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving
you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow
citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such
cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true
and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you
must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as
well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the
middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as
a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin
forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has
been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his
fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you
and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your
ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him
and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is
pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)
So the next time some Christian tells you about the "love of God",
show them this page and ask them "Why does God want me to burn animals
and humans?"
