요약Child sacrifice in ancient Israel has been a topic of much scholarly debate. Most treatments focus on either establishing or denying the fact that child sacrifice occurred and then attempting to determine the nature and extent of the practice if it did. The present examination addresses such questions but also moves beyond them. Most previous work on the topic neglects the diversity of religious belief and practice in ancient Israel, treating Israelite religion either as a monolith or as a contest between "orthodox" or "official" Yahwism and "syncretistic" or "popular" religion. By contrast, the present study will demonstrate that the spectrum of Israelite religion is more complex than this and that there were actually several types of child sacrifice rituals practiced in ancient Israel.

요약In order to present a history of Israelite child sacrifice in all its diversity, this examination begins with a survey of scholarship on the so-called lmlk offerings of children and on the Law of the Firstborn, which required that all firstborn children be "given" to Yahweh. Having established the general nature of each, it then turns to the relevant biblical evidence, closely examining what its authors have to say about child sacrifice. This examination will reveal that there were several rituals that involved child sacrifice in ancient Israel and that the practice of these rituals varied over both time and space. Despite this diversity, a general consensus that all such rituals were illegitimate developed among the biblical authors of the late monarchic and exilic periods. Somewhat problematically, though, some groups that came to reject the legitimacy of child sacrifice also held as authoritative older texts that condoned the rite. This required these groups to reinterpret their received texts, often in rather creative ways. Other groups, who did not hold these older texts to be authoritative, attacked the legitimacy of such texts rather than attempting to reinterpret them. This led to sharp disagreement among biblical authors as to which legal corpora were authoritative, whether Yahweh had ever commanded child sacrifice, and the broader question of how Yahweh interacted with his people.
