Basic HTML Version
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2
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;
3
Thou shalt not hearken unto the words
of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the L
ORD
your God proveth you, to know whether
ye love the L
ORD
your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4
Ye shall walk after the L
ORD
your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him,
and cleave unto him.
5
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because
he hath spoken to turn
you
away from the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
6
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;
7
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;
8
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:
9
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
thy God, to keep all his
commandments which I command thee this day, to do
that which is
right in the eyes of the L
ORD
thy God.
