Deuteronomy 13:1-10
1“12If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2and the sign or the wonder comes true, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘3Let’s follow other gods (whom you have not known) and let’s serve them,’ 3you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God is 4testing you to find out whether 5you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 46You shall follow the Lord your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and 7cling to Him. 5But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be 8put to death, because he has spoken falsely against the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of 9slavery, 10to drive you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. 11So you shall eliminate the evil from among you.
6“12If your brother, your mother’s son, or your son or daughter, or the wife 13you cherish, or your friend who is like your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, ‘14Let’s go and serve other gods’ (whom neither you nor your fathers have known, 7of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near you, or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end), 815you shall not consent to him or listen to him; 16and your eye shall not pity him, nor shall you spare or conceal him. 917Instead, you shall most certainly kill him; 18your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 10So you shall stone him 19to death, because he has attempted 20to drive you away from the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of 21slavery.
