If there
arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of
dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
02 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;
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 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;
07 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;
08 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:
09 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.

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.
11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall
do no more any such wickedness as this is among
you.
12 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities,
which the Lord thy God hath given thee to dwell
there, saying,
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out from among you, and have withdrawn the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;
14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and
ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and
the thing certain, that such abomination is
wrought among you;
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.
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.
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 shew thee mercy,
and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee,
as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
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.
