DE-13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of
dreams, and
giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
DE-13:2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he
spake unto thee,
saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known,
and let us
serve them;
DE-13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet,
or that
dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know
whether ye love
the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
DE-13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him,
and keep his
commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and
cleave unto him.
DE-13:5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be
put to death;
because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God,
which
brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of
the house of
bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God
commanded thee
to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of
thee.
DE-13:6 If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or
thy daughter,
or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own
soul, entice
thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which
thou hast not
known, thou, nor thy fathers;
DE-13:7 [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round
about you, nigh
unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth
even unto the
[other] end of the earth;
DE-13:8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him;
neither shall
thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou
conceal him:
DE-13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be
first upon him to
put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
DE-13:10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die;
because he hath
sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought
thee out of
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
DE-13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no
more any such
wickedness as this is among you.
DE-13:12 If thou shalt hear [say] in one of thy cities, which
the LORD thy
God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
DE-13:13 [Certain] men, the children of Belial, are gone out
from among you,
and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us
go and serve
other gods, which ye have not known;
DE-13:14 Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask
diligently; and,
behold, [if it be] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that] such
abomination is
wrought among you;
DE-13:15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city
with the edge
of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] therein,
and the cattle
thereof, with the edge of the sword.
DE-13:16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the
midst of the
street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the
spoil thereof
every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for
ever; it shall
not be built again.
DE-13:17 And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to
thine hand:
that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and
show thee mercy,
and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath
sworn unto thy
fathers;
DE-13:18 When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy
God, to keep
all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do [that
which is]
right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
