13If prophets or those who divine by dreams appear among you and promise you omens or portents,H6965H7130H5030H2492H2472H5414H226H4159 2and the omens or the portents declared by them take place, and they say, "Let us follow other gods" (whom you have not known) "and let us serve them,"H226H4159H935H1696H559H3212H310H312H430H3045H5647 3you must not heed the words of those prophets or those who divine by dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you indeed love the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.H8085H1697H5030H2492H2472H3068H430H5254H3045H3426H157H3068H430H3824H5315 4The LORD your God you shall follow, him alone you shall fear, his commandments you shall keep, his voice you shall obey, him you shall serve, and to him you shall hold fast.H3212H310H3068H430H3372H8104H4687H8085H6963H5647H1692 5But those prophets or those who divine by dreams shall be put to death for having spoken treason against the LORD your God—who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery—to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.H5030H2492H2472H4191H1696H5627H3068H430H3318H776H4714H6299H1004H5650H5080H1870H3068H430H6680H3212H1197H7451H1197H7130 6If anyone secretly entices you—even if it is your brother, your father's son or your mother's son, or your own son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your most intimate friend—saying, "Let us go worship other gods," whom neither you nor your ancestors have known,H251H1121H517H1121H1323H802H2436H7453H5315H5496H5643H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045H1 7any of the gods of the peoples that are around you, whether near you or far away from you, from one end of the earth to the other,H430H5971H5439H7138H7350H7097H776H7097H776 8you must not yield to or heed any such persons. Show them no pity or compassion and do not shield them.H14H8085H5869H2347H2550H3680 9But you shall surely kill them; your own hand shall be first against them to execute them, and afterwards the hand of all the people.H2026H2026H3027H7223H4191H314H3027H5971 10Stone them to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.H5619H68H4191H1245H5080H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650 11Then all Israel shall hear and be afraid, and never again do any such wickedness.H3478H8085H3372H6213H3254H1697H7451H7130 12If you hear it said about one of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you to live in,H8085H259H5892H3068H430H5414H3427H559 13that scoundrels from among you have gone out and led the inhabitants of the town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods," whom you have not known,H582H1121H1100H3318H7130H5080H3427H5892H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045 14then you shall inquire and make a thorough investigation. If the charge is established that such an abhorrent thing has been done among you,H1875H2713H7592H3190H571H1697H3559H2063H8441H6213H7130 15you shall put the inhabitants of that town to the sword, utterly destroying it and everything in it—even putting its livestock to the sword.H5221H5221H3427H5892H6310H2719H2763H929H6310H2719 16All of its spoil you shall gather into its public square; then burn the town and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. It shall remain a perpetual ruin, never to be rebuilt.H6908H7998H8432H7339H8313H784H5892H7998H3632H3068H430H8510H5769H1129 17Do not let anything devoted to destruction stick to your hand, so that the LORD may turn from his fierce anger and show you compassion, and in his compassion multiply you, as he swore to your ancestors,H1692H3972H2764H3027H3068H7725H2740H639H5414H7356H7355H7235H7650H1 18if you obey the voice of the LORD your God by keeping all his commandments that I am commanding you today, doing what is right in the sight of the LORD your God.H8085H6963H3068H430H8104H4687H6680H3117H6213H3477H5869H3068H430
