Exegesis
The participle ha-zōnim {הַזֹּנִ֣ים | ha-zōnim} combined with the infinitive liznôt {לִזְנוֹת | liznôt} expresses ongoing pursuit of cultic prostitution to Molech, with ʾaḥărê {אַחֲרֵי | ʾaḥărê} marking direction.
In context — Leviticus 20:5
I will set my face against that man and his family, and I will cut off him and all who prostitute themselves after him to Molech, from among their people.
