Der Götze Moloch mit 7 Räumen oder Capelle[1] (1704, in English known as "The Moloch Idol, with 7 chambers or chapels") is an illustration of the Moloch as featured in Johann Lund's Die alten jüdischen Heiligthümer.
The print has a compagnon print, with a Moloch who holds a baby in his arms and of which the inscription reads "Der Götz Moloch wie ihme die Kinder zum Opfer in seine glühenden Arme gegeben" (English: "The Moloch Idol given the child as a sacrifice in his glowing arms".
In this digital edition are good scans of both[2][3] prints.
