Deuteronomy 13
13:1

If there arise6965 among7130 you a prophet,5030 or a dreamer2492 of dreams,2472 and giveth5414 thee a sign226 or a wonder,4159

13:2

And the sign226 or the wonder4159 come to pass,935 whereof he spake1696 unto thee, saying,559 Let us go3212 after310 other312 mighty ones,430 which thou hast not known,3045 and let us serve5647 them;

13:3

Thou shalt not hearken8085 unto the words1697 of that prophet,5030 or that dreamer2492 of dreams:2472 for Yahweh3068 your Elohim430 proveth5254 you, to know3045 whether ye3426 love157 Yahweh3068 your Elohim430 with all your heart3824 and with all your soul.5315

13:4

Ye shall walk3212 after310 Yahweh3068 your Elohim,430 and fear3372 him, and keep8104 his commandments,4687 and obey8085 his voice,6963 and ye shall serve5647 him, and cleave1692 unto him.

13:5

And that prophet,5030 or that dreamer2492 of dreams,2472 shall be put to death;4191 because he hath spoken1696 to turn you away5627 from Yahweh3068 your Elohim,430 which brought you out3318 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 and redeemed6299 you out of the house1004 of bondage,5650 to thrust5080 thee out of the way1870 which Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 commanded6680 thee to walk3212 in. So shalt thou put the evil7451 away1197 from the midst7130 of thee.

13:6

If thy brother,251 the son1121 of thy mother,517 or thy son,1121 or thy daughter,1323 or the wife802 of thy bosom,2436 or thy friend,7453 which is as thine own soul,5315 entice5496 thee secretly,5643 saying,559 Let us go3212 and serve5647 other312 mighty ones,430 which thou hast not known,3045 thou, nor thy fathers;1

13:7

Namely, of the mighty ones430 of the people5971 which are round about5439 you, nigh7138 unto thee, or far off7350 from thee, from the one end7097 of the earth776 even unto the other end7097 of the earth;776

13:8

Thou shalt not consent14 unto him, nor hearken8085 unto him; neither shall thine eye5869 pity2347 him, neither shalt thou spare,2550 neither shalt thou conceal3680 him:

13:9

But thou shalt surely2026 kill2026 him; thine hand3027 shall be first7223 upon him to put him to death,4191 and afterwards314 the hand3027 of all the people.5971

13:10

And thou shalt stone5619 him with stones,68 that he die;4191 because he hath sought1245 to thrust thee away5080 from Yahweh3068 thy Elohim,430 which brought thee out3318 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the house1004 of bondage.5650

13:11

And all Israel3478 shall hear,8085 and fear,3372 and shall do6213 no more3254 any such1697 wickedness7451 as this is among7130 you.

13:12

If thou shalt hear8085 say in one259 of thy cities,5892 which Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 hath given5414 thee to dwell3427 there, saying,559

13:13

Certain men,582 the children1121 of Belial,1100 are gone out3318 from among7130 you, and have withdrawn5080 the inhabitants3427 of their city,5892 saying,559 Let us go3212 and serve5647 other312 mighty ones,430 which ye have not known;3045

13:14

Then shalt thou enquire,1875 and make search,2713 and ask7592 diligently;3190 and, behold, if it be truth,571 and the thing1697 certain,3559 that such2063 abomination8441 is wrought6213 among7130 you;

13:15

Thou shalt surely5221 smite5221 the inhabitants3427 of that city5892 with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 destroying it utterly,2763 and all that is therein, and the cattle929 thereof, with the edge6310 of the sword.2719

13:16

And thou shalt gather6908 all the spoil7998 of it into the midst8432 of the street7339 thereof, and shalt burn8313 with fire784 the city,5892 and all the spoil7998 thereof every whit,3632 for Yahweh3068 thy Elohim:430 and it shall be an heap8510 for ever;5769 it shall not3808 be built1129 again.5750

13:17

And there shall cleave1692 nought3972 of the cursed thing2764 to thine hand:3027 that Yahweh3068 may turn7725 from the fierceness2740 of his anger,639 and shew5414 thee mercy,7356 and have compassion7355 upon thee, and multiply7235 thee, as he hath sworn7650 unto thy fathers;1

13:18

When thou shalt hearken8085 to the voice6963 of Yahweh3068 thy Elohim,430 to keep8104 all his commandments4687 which I command6680 thee this day,3117 to do6213 that which is right3477 in the eyes5869 of Yahweh3068 thy Elohim.430
