or a necromancer.
12
For all that do these things
are
an abomination unto the L
ORD
: and because of
these abominations the L
ORD
thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13
Thou shalt be perfect
with the L
ORD
thy God.
14
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers
of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the L
ORD
thy God hath not suffered thee so
to do.
15
The L
ORD
thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren,
like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
16
According to all that thou desiredst of the L
ORD
thy God
in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the L
ORD
my God,
neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17
And the L
ORD
said unto me, They have
well
spoken that
which they have spoken.
18
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their
brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that
I shall command him.
19
And it shall come to pass,
that
whosoever will not hearken unto my words
which he shall speak in my name, I will require
it
of him.
20
But the prophet, which shall presume
to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the
name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
21
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we
know the word which the L
ORD
hath not spoken?
22
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the
L
ORD
, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that
is
the thing which the L
ORD
hath not spoken,
but
the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
CHAPTER 19
When the L
ORD
thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee, and
thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
2
Thou shalt separate three
cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee to possess it.
3
Thou
shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee to
inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
4
And this
is
the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his
neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
5
As when a man goeth into the wood with
his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and
the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto
one of those cities, and live:
6
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is
hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he
was
not worthy of death,
inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
7
Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate
three cities for thee.
8
And if the L
ORD
thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers,
and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
9
If thou shalt keep all these
commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the L
ORD
thy God, and to walk
ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:

That innocent
