Dealing with False Prophets

13"A prophet or a diviner of dreams may arise among you, give you an omen or a miracleH6965H7130H5030H2492H2472H5414H226H4159
2that takes place, and then he may tell you, 'Let's follow other gods (whom you have not known) and let's serve them.' Even though the sign or portent comes to pass,H226H4159H935H1696H559H3212H310H312H430H3045H5647
3you must not listen to the words of that prophet or that diviner of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you, to make known whether or not you'll continue to love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.H8085H1697H5030H2492H2472H3068H430H5254H3045H3426H157H3068H430H3824H5315
4You must follow the Lord your God, fear him, observe his commandments, listen to his voice, serve him, and cling to him.H3212H310H3068H430H3372H8104H4687H8085H6963H5647H1692
5That prophet or diviner of dreams must be executed, because he advocated rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, and because he lured you from the way in which the Lord your God instructed you to live. Purge the evil from among you."H5030H2492H2472H4191H1696H5627H3068H430H3318H776H4714H6299H1004H5650H5080H1870H3068H430H6680H3212H1197H7451H1197H7130

Dealing with Idolaters

6"Your own blood brother, your son, your daughter, your beloved wife, or your friend who is like your soul mate quietly may entice you. He may tell you, 'Let's go and serve other gods,' (whom neither you nor your ancestors have knownH251H1121H517H1121H1323H802H2436H7453H5315H5496H5643H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045H1
7from the gods of the people that surround you - whether near or far from you - from one end of the earth to the other).H430H5971H5439H7138H7350H7097H776H7097H776
8You must not yield to him, listen to him, look with pity on him, show compassion to him, or even cover up for him.H14H8085H5869H2347H2550H3680
9But you must surely execute him. You must be the first to put him to death with your own hand, and then the hands of the whole community.H2026H2026H3027H7223H4191H314H3027H5971
10Stone him to death, because he sought to lure you from the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, from the land of slavery.H5619H68H4191H1245H5080H3068H430H3318H776H4714H1004H5650
11Then all Israel will hear about it, be afraid, and won't do this evil thing again among you.10H3478H8085H3372H6213H3254H1697H7451H7130
12"You may hear in one of your towns that the Lord your God is giving you to inhabitH8085H259H5892H3068H430H5414H3427H559
13that worthless men have come from among you to entice those who live in the towns. They may say, 'Let's go and serve other gods that you haven't known.'H582H1121H1100H3318H7130H5080H3427H5892H559H3212H5647H312H430H3045
14You must thoroughly investigate and inquire if it is true that this detestable thing exists among you. If it is so,H1875H2713H7592H3190H571H1697H3559H2063H8441H6213H7130
15then put the inhabitants of the town to death by the sword. Devote everything in it to divine destruction - even its livestock - by the sword.H5221H5221H3427H5892H6310H2719H2763H929H6310H2719
16Gather whatever you've taken as spoils at the public square of the town, then burn the town, along with whatever you've taken, as an offering to the Lord your God. It will remain a tel forever, never to be rebuilt again.H6908H7998H8432H7339H8313H784H5892H7998H3632H3068H430H8510H5769H1129
17Moreover, you must never take any item from those condemned things, so the Lord may yet relent from his burning anger and extend compassion, have mercy, and cause you to increase in number - as he promised by an oath to your ancestors?H1692H3972H2764H3027H3068H7725H2740H639H5414H7356H7355H7235H7650H1
18if you obey the voice of the Lord your God by observing all his commands that I'm commanding you today. Do what is right in the sight of the Lord your God."1313H8085H6963H3068H430H8104H4687H6680H3117H6213H3477H5869H3068H430
