CHILD
SACRIFICE IN
ANCIENT
ISRAEL
AMONG THE MANY RELIGIOUS ACTS CONDEMNED IN THE HEBREW BIBLE, CHILD
SACRIFICE STANDS OUT AS PARTICULARLY HORRIFYING. THE IDEA THAT ANY
GROUP
OF
PEOPLE
WOULD WILLINGLY SACRIFICE THEIR OWN CHILDREN TO THEIR GOD(S) IS SO
CONTRARY TO MODERN MORAL SENSIBILITIES THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE
THAT
SUCH
A PRACTICE COULD HAVE EVER EXISTED. NONETHELESS, THE EXISTENCE OF
BIBLICAL
CONDEMNATION OF THESE RITES ATTESTS TO THE FACT THAT
SOME
ANCIENT
ISRAELITES IN FACT DID SACRIFICE THEIR
CHILDREN.
INDEED, A CLOSE READING OF THE
EVIDENCE*BIBLICAL , ARCHAEOLOGICAL, EPIGRAPHIC, ETC.*INDICATE S THAT
THERE
ARE AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ISRAELITE CHILD SACRIFICE, EACH
WITH
ITS
OWN
HISTORY, PURPOSE, AND FUNCTION.
IN
ADDITION TO EXAMINING THE HISTORICAL REALITY OF ISRAELITE CHILD SACRI-
FICE,
DEWRELL S
STUDY ALSO EXPLORES THE BIBLICAL RHETORIC CONDEMNING THE
PRACTICE. WHILE NEARLY EVERY TRADITION PRESERVED IN THE HEBREW BIBLE
REJECTS
CHILD
SACRIFICE AS ABOMINABLE TO YAHWEH, THE RHETORICAL STRATEGIES
EMPLOYED BY THE
BIBLICAL
WRITERS VARY TO A SURPRISING
DEGREE.
THUS, EVEN
IN
ARGUING AGAINST THE PRACTICE OF CHILD SACRIFICE, THE BIBLICAL WRITERS
THEMSELVES OFTEN DISAGREED CONCERNING WHY YAHWEH CONDEMNED THE
RITES
AND WHY THEY CAME TO EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE.
