Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
If
a prophet or dreamer of dreams
arises
among
you
and proclaims
a sign or wonder to
you
,
`When
there
ariseth
in
your
midst
a prophet ,
or a
dreamer of a
dream,
and he
hath
given
unto
thee
a sign or wonder,
and if
the sign or
wonder he has
spoken to
you
comes
about
, but
he
says
, “
Let us follow
other gods (which you
have
not known) and let
us
worship
them, ”
and the sign and
the
wonder hath
come
which
he hath
spoken of
unto
thee
, saying
, Let us go
after
other gods (which thou
hast
not known) ,
and serve
them,
you
must
not listen
to
the words of that prophet or dreamer .
For
the LORD
your God is testing
you to find
out
whether you
love
Him
with all your heart and with all your soul .
thou
dost
not hearken
unto
the words of that prophet ,
or unto
that
dreamer of
the dream,
for
Jehovah
your God is trying
you ,
to know
whether ye
are
loving
Jehovah
your
God
with all your heart ,
and with all your soul ;
You
are
to
follow
the
LORD
your God and fear
Him .
Keep
His commandments
and listen
to His voice ;
serve
Him and hold
fast
to Him.
after
Jehovah
your God ye
walk,
and Him ye
fear,
and
His commands
ye
keep,
and to His voice ye
hearken,
and
Him ye
serve,
and to Him ye
cleave
.
Such
a
prophet or dreamer must
be
put to death, because
he has
advocated
rebellion
against the
LORD
your God ,
who brought
you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed
you from
the
house of slavery;
he
has
tried
to turn
you from
the way in which the
LORD
your
God has
commanded you
to walk .
So
you
must
purge
the evil from among
you
.
`And
that
prophet ,
or that
dreamer of
the
dream,
is
put to death, for
he hath
spoken
apostacy
against Jehovah
your God (
who is
bringing
you out of the land of Egypt ,
and hath
ransomed
you out
of
a
house of servants),
to drive
you out
of
the way in which Jehovah
thy
God hath
commanded thee
to walk ,
and
thou
hast
put
away
the evil thing
from thy
midst
.
If
your
very
own
brother, or your
son or daughter, or the wife you
embrace
, or your
closest
friend secretly
entices
you
, saying, “
Let us go and worship
other gods ”
(which neither
you
nor
your
fathers
have
known,
`When
thy
brother --
son
of
thy
mother
, or thy
son ,
or thy
daughter, or the wife of
thy
bosom
, or thy
friend who
`is'
as
thine
own
soul
--
doth
move
thee
, in
secret,
saying, Let us go and serve
other gods --
(which thou
hast
not
known, thou
and
thy
fathers,
the gods of the peoples around
you, whether
near or far, whether
from one
end of the earth or
the other
) ,
of
the gods of the peoples who
`are'
round
about
you, who
are
near unto
thee,
or who
are
far off
from
thee
, from the
end of the earth even
unto
the end
of
the
earth
) --
you
must
not yield
to
him
or
listen
to him .
Show
him no
pity, and
do
not
spare him
or
shield
him.
thou
dost
not consent
to him ,
nor
hearken
unto
him ,
nor
doth
thine
eye
have
pity on
him
, nor
dost
thou
spare ,
nor
dost
thou
cover
him over
.
Instead,
you
must
surely kill him .
Your
hand must
be
the first against
him
to put him to death, and then
the hands
of all the people .
`But
thou
dost
surely kill him ;
thy
hand is
on
him,
in
the first place,
to put him to death, and the hand
of all the people last;
Stone
him 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.
and
thou
hast
stoned
him with
stones,
and
he
hath
died,
for he
hath
sought
to drive
thee
away from Jehovah
thy
God, who is
bringing
thee
out of the land of Egypt, out of a
house of servants;
Then
all Israel will
hear and be
afraid
, and will
never
again
do such
a
wicked
thing among
you
.
and
all Israel do
hear and fear
, and add
not
to
do like
this
evil
thing in
thy
midst
.
If
, regarding
one of the
cities the
LORD
your
God is giving you
to inhabit
, you
hear
it
said
`When
thou
hearest
, in
one of thy
cities which
Jehovah
thy
God is giving to thee
to
dwell
there
, `one'
saying,
that
wicked
men have arisen
from
among
you
and have
led
the people
of their city astray
, saying, “
Let us go and serve other gods ”
(
which you
have not known ),
Men ,
sons
of
worthlessness,
have gone
out
of
thy
midst,
and they
force
away
the inhabitants
of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods ,
which ye
have not known --
then
you
must
inquire
, investigate
, and interrogate
thoroughly.
And if
it
is established with
certainty
that
this abomination has
been committed
among
you,
and
thou
hast
enquired
, and
searched
, and asked
diligently,
and lo,
truth;
the
thing
is established ;
this abomination hath
been done
in
thy
midst:
you
must
surely put
the inhabitants of that city to
the sword .
Devote
to
destruction
all its people
and
livestock.
`Thou
dost
surely smite
the inhabitants of that city by
the mouth
of
the
sword ;
devoting
it,
and
all that
`is'
in
it,
even
its cattle,
by
the
mouth
of
the
sword;
And you
are
to
gather
all its plunder
in
the middle
of the
public
square
, and completely
burn
the city and all its plunder
as
a
whole
burnt
offering
to
the
LORD
your
God .
The
city
must
remain
a mound
of
ruins
forever
, never
to
be
rebuilt.
and all its spoil
thou
dost
gather
unto
the midst
of its
broad
place
, and hast
burned
with
fire
the city and all its spoil
completely,
before
Jehovah
thy
God ,
and
it
hath
been
a heap
age-during
, it
is
not
built
any
more;
Nothing
devoted
to
destruction
shall
cling
to your
hands
, so that the
LORD
will
turn from His fierce
anger, grant
you
mercy
, show
you
compassion
, and multiply
you
as He swore
to your
fathers,
and
there
doth
not
cleave
to thy
hand
any
of
the
devoted
thing
, so that Jehovah
doth
turn back
from the
fierceness
of
His anger, and
hath
given
to
thee
mercies
, and
loved
thee
, and multiplied
thee,
as He hath
sworn
to thy
fathers,
because
you
obey
the LORD
your
God, keeping
all His commandments
I am giving
you
today
and
doing
what
is right in the eyes of the
LORD
your
God.
when
thou
dost
hearken
to
the voice
of
Jehovah
thy
God, to
keep
all his commands
which
I am commanding
thee
to-day,
to
do
that
which
`
is '
right in the eyes of Jehovah
thy
God.
