ሞሎሕ/ Moloh: The name of an idol; see ሞሎኽ (molokh), መሊክ (melik), መለከ (meleke).

ሞሎክ/ Moloch: (ጽር ሞሎኽ። ዕብ ሞሌኽ) The idol of the children of Ammon, which Israel used to worship; its face was that of a calf, its hands and body were human; its hands were stretched out to receive a child; in front of it and opposite it, towards the east, in the likeness of the seven heavens, it had 7 walls and 7 gates. It means messenger, leader, guide, guardian, king: (ዘሌ፲፰: ፳፪። ፳: ፪: ፬። ግብ፯: ፵፫). And the order of its worship was this: the first gate would be opened for one who offered sandals and oil; the second for one who offered a dove and a turtledove; the third for one who offered a sheep; the fourth for one who offered a goat; the fifth for one who offered a calf; the sixth for one who offered an ox; but for one who offered his child, all seven would be opened, and he would give it to the idol hand to hand. After that, the priests would receive the child from the hands of Moloch, light a fire on two sides, and passing it through the middle, would say, It is offered to us.
