Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Does Israel have no children? Is there no one to inherit anything in Israel? Why does Molech occupy Gad, and his people live in its cities?

Yahweh uses a question to express that the people of Israel should be living in Gad rather than those who worship Molech. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “There are plenty of Israelites to inherit the land of Israel. The people who worship the false idol, Molech, should not live in Gad.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) Why does Molech

Here “Molech” represents the people who worship Molech. Alternate translation: “Why do the people who worship Molech”
