3 โ[1] ** ืืื ื ืืชื ืืช ืคื ื ืืืืฉ ืืืื, "And also I Myself will set My face against that person, etc."** What further punishment does G'd have in mind seeing the guilty party has already been executed by a human tribunal?
โ[2] I believe the Torah informs us that in addition to the physical death of that person by execution there is further punishment in store for his soul. This is alluded to by the words ืืืืจืชื ืืืชื ืืงืจื ืขืื, "I will cut him off from amongst his people." This is a reference to the holy root from which all Jewish souls emanate. The Torah explains the reason for these two punishments and writes: 1) "for he has given of his seed to Molech in order to defile My Sanctuary" 2)โฆ"and to desecrate My holy name." The execution of the sinner's body is the retribution for defiling the Sanctuary, the destruction of the sinner's holy roots is retribution for profaning the Lord's name.
