|
 |
| Deuteronomy 13:1 |
|
"If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises
among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:2 |
|
and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning
which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods (whom you have not
known) and let us serve them,' |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:3 |
|
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet
or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you to find out if
you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:4 |
|
You shall follow the LORD your God and fear
Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and
cling to Him. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:5 |
|
But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall
be put to death, because he has counseled rebellion against the LORD your God
who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery,
to seduce you from the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk. So
you shall purge the evil from among you. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:6 |
|
"If your brother, your mother's son, or your
son or daughter, or the wife you cherish, or your friend who is as your own soul,
entice you secretly, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods' (whom neither you
nor your fathers have known, |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:7 |
|
of the gods of the peoples who are around you,
near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end), |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:8 |
|
you shall not yield to him or listen to him;
and your eye shall not pity him, nor shall you spare or conceal him. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:9 |
|
But you shall surely kill him; your hand shall
be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:10 |
|
So you shall stone him to death because he has
sought to seduce you from the LORD your God who brought you out from the land
of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:11 |
|
Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and
will never again do such a wicked thing among you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:12 |
|
"If you hear in one of your cities, which the
LORD your God is giving you to live in, anyone saying that |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:13 |
|
some worthless men have gone out from among
you and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, 'Let us go and serve
other gods' (whom you have not known), |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:14 |
|
then you shall investigate and search out and
inquire thoroughly. If it is true and the matter established that this abomination
has been done among you, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:15 |
|
you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that
city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it and all that is in it and
its cattle with the edge of the sword. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:16 |
|
Then you shall gather all its booty into the
middle of its open square and burn the city and all its booty with fire as a whole
burnt offering to the LORD your God; and it shall be a ruin forever. It shall
never be rebuilt. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:17 |
|
Nothing from that which is put under the ban
shall cling to your hand, in order that the LORD may turn from His burning anger
and show mercy to you, and have compassion on you and make you increase, just
as He has sworn to your fathers, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 13:18 |
|
if you will listen to the voice of the LORD
your God, keeping all His commandments which I am commanding you today, and doing
what is right in the sight of the LORD your God. |
