Deuteronomy 13

1If there shall ariseH6965 amongH7130 you a prophetH5030, or a dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472, and giveH5414 thee a signH226 or a wonderH4159, 2And the signH226 or the wonderH4159 shall come to passH935, of which he spokeH1696 to thee, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, which thou hast not knownH3045, and let us serveH5647 them; 3Thou shalt not hearkenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of that prophetH5030, or that dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 testethH5254 you, to knowH3045 whether yeH3426 loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315. 4Ye shall walkH3212 afterH310 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and fearH3372 him, and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and obeyH8085 his voiceH6963, and ye shall serveH5647 him, and cleaveH1692 to him. 5And that prophetH5030, or that dreamerH2492 of dreamsH2472, shall be put to deathH4191; because he hath spokenH1696 to turnH5627 you away from the LORDH3068 your GodH430, who brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and redeemedH6299 you from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, to thrustH5080 thee out of the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee to walk inH3212. So shalt thou removeH1197 the evilH7451 from the midstH7130 of thee.1

6If thy brotherH251, the sonH1121 of thy motherH517, or thy sonH1121, or thy daughterH1323, or the wifeH802 of thy bosomH2436, or thy friendH7453, who is as thy own soulH5315, shall enticeH5496 thee secretlyH5643, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which thou hast not knownH3045, thou, nor thy fathersH1; 7Namely, of the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 who are aroundH5439 you, nearH7138 to thee, or far offH7350 from thee, from one endH7097 of the earthH776 even to the other endH7097 of the earthH776; 8Thou shalt not consentH14 to him, nor hearkenH8085 to him; neither shall thy eyeH5869 pityH2347 him, neither shalt thou spareH2550, neither shalt thou concealH3680 him: 9But thou shalt surelyH2026 killH2026 him; thy handH3027 shall be firstH7223 upon him to put him to deathH4191, and afterwardsH314 the handH3027 of all the peopleH5971. 10And thou shalt stoneH5619 him with stonesH68, that he shall dieH4191; because he hath soughtH1245 to thrust thee awayH5080 from the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, who brought thee outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650.2 11And all IsraelH3478 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and shall doH6213 no moreH3254 anyH1697 such wickednessH7451 as this is amongH7130 you.

12If thou shalt hearH8085 in oneH259 of thy citiesH5892, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath givenH5414 thee to dwellH3427 there, sayingH559, 13Certain menH582, corruptH1100 menH1121, have gone outH3318 from amongH7130 you, and have seducedH5080 the inhabitantsH3427 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which ye have not knownH3045;3 14Then shalt thou enquireH1875, and make searchH2713, and askH7592 diligentlyH3190; and, behold, if it is truthH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that suchH2063 abominationH8441 is wroughtH6213 amongH7130 you; 15Thou shalt surelyH5221 smiteH5221 the inhabitantsH3427 of that cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, destroying it utterlyH2763, and all that is in it, and its cattleH929, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. 16And thou shalt gatherH6908 all the spoilH7998 of it into the midstH8432 of its streetH7339, and shalt burnH8313 with fireH784 the cityH5892, and all the spoilH7998, every bit of itH3632, for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: and it shall be an heapH8510 for everH5769; it shalt not be built againH1129. 17And there shall cleaveH1692 nothingH3972 of the cursed thingH2764 to thy handH3027: that the LORDH3068 may turnH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, and showH5414 thee mercyH7356, and have compassionH7355 upon thee, and multiplyH7235 thee, as he hath swornH7650 to thy fathersH1;4 18When thou shalt hearkenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to keepH8104 all his commandmentsH4687 which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
