Worshiping Other Gods

13If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder,H6965H7130H5030H2492H2472H5414H226H4159 2and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, "Let us follow other gods" (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them,"H226H4159H935H1696H559H3212H310H312H430H3045H5647 3you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul.H8085H1697H5030H2492H2472H3068H430H5254H3045H3426H157H3068H430H3824H5315 4It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.H3212H310H3068H430H3372H8104H4687H8085H6963H5647H1692 5That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way the LORD your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.H5030H2492H2472H4191H1696H5627H3068H430H3318H776H4714H6299H1004H5650H5080H1870H3068H430H6680H3212H1197H7451H1197H7130 6If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known,H251H1121H517H1121H1323H802H2436H7453H5315H5496H5643H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045H1 7gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other),H430H5971H5439H7138H7350H7097H776H7097H776 8do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him.H14H8085H5869H2347H2550H3680 9You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people.H2026H2026H3027H7223H4191H314H3027H5971 10Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.H5619H68H4191H1245H5080H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650 11Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.H3478H8085H3372H6213H3254H1697H7451H7130 12If you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live inH8085H259H5892H3068H430H5414H3427H559 13that wicked men have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods you have not known),H582H1121H1100H3318H7130H5080H3427H5892H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045 14then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you,H1875H2713H7592H3190H571H1697H3559H2063H8441H6213H7130 15you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. Destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock.H5221H5221H3427H5892H6310H2719H2763H929H6310H2719 16Gather all the plunder of the town into the middle of the public square and completely burn the town and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. It is to remain a ruin forever, never to be rebuilt.H6908H7998H8432H7339H8313H784H5892H7998H3632H3068H430H8510H5769H1129 17None of those condemned things shall be found in your hands, so that the LORD will turn from his fierce anger; he will show you mercy, have compassion on you, and increase your numbers, as he promised on oath to your forefathers,H1692H3972H2764H3027H3068H7725H2740H639H5414H7356H7355H7235H7650H1 18because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all his commands that I am giving you today and doing what is right in his eyes.H8085H6963H3068H430H8104H4687H6680H3117H6213H3477H5869H3068H430
