Welche Opferart wurde mit Ex 22,19 unter Strafe gestellt?

Since the (as it stands) very general ruling Ex 22,19 exhibits no stylistic or material connections with 22,20ff., but has been joined to 22,17f., it must (like the two preceding laws) have dealt originally with a situation in the sphere of marriage and the family; out of the possibilities offered by the Old Testament, this could well be child sacrifice lmlk.
