If there
arise
in
the
midst
of
you
a prophet ,
or a
dreamer of dreams ,
and
he
give
you a sign or a
wonder,
If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises
among
you and
proclaims
a sign or wonder to
you
,
and the sign or the
wonder come
to
pass,
of
which
he spoke
to you, saying
, Let us go
after
other gods ,
which you have not known ,
and let us serve
them ;
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 ,”
you shall
not listen to the words of that prophet ,
or to
that
dreamer of
dreams:
for Yahweh
your God proves
you ,
to know
whether you love Yahweh
your
God
with all your heart and with all your soul.
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.
You shall
walk
after
Yahweh
your God ,
and fear him ,
and
keep his commandments ,
and obey
his voice ,
and
you
shall
serve him ,
and cleave
to him.
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.
That
prophet ,
or that
dreamer of
dreams,
shall
be put to death, because he has spoken
rebellion against Yahweh
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt ,
and redeemed you out
of
the house of bondage,
to draw
you aside
out
of
the way which Yahweh
your God commanded you to walk in
. So shall
you put
away
the evil from the
midst
of
you.
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.
If your brother, the
son
of
your
mother,
or your son ,
or your
daughter, or the wife of
your
bosom
, or your friend ,
who
is
as
your
own
soul,
entice
you
secretly, saying, Let us go and serve
other gods ,
which you
have
not
known,
you ,
nor your fathers ;
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,
of
the gods of the peoples who
are
round
about
you, near to
you,
or far off
from
you
, from the
one end of the earth even
to
the other end
of
the
earth;
the gods of the peoples around
you, whether
near or far, whether
from one end of the earth or
the other ),
you shall
not consent
to him ,
nor
listen to him ;
neither
shall
your
eye
pity
him, neither
shall
you
spare ,
neither
shall
you
conceal
him :
you must
not yield
to him or
listen to him .
Show
him no
pity
, and
do
not
spare him or
shield
him.
but
you shall
surely kill him ;
your hand shall
be first on
him to put him to death, and afterwards
the hand
of all the people.
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.
You
shall
stone him to death with
stones,
because
he
has
sought
to draw
you away from Yahweh
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage
.
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
.
All Israel shall
hear ,
and fear
, and shall
not
do any
more
such wickedness
as
this
is
in
the
midst
of
you.
Then
all Israel will
hear and be
afraid
, and will
never
again
do such a
wicked
thing
among
you.
If you
shall
hear
tell
concerning
one of your
cities ,
which
Yahweh
your God gives
you to dwell
there,
saying
,
If ,
regarding
one of the
cities the
LORD
your God is
giving
you to inhabit
, you
hear
it
said
Certain
base
fellows
are
gone
out
from the
midst
of
you ,
and have drawn
away
the inhabitants
of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods ,
which you have not known ;
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 ),
then shall
you inquire, and
make
search
, and ask
diligently;
and ,
behold,
if it be
truth,
and
the
thing
certain,
that such
abomination is
done
in
the
midst
of
you,
then you must
inquire, investigate
, and interrogate
thoroughly.
And if it is
established
with
certainty
that this
abomination has
been
committed
among
you,
you shall
surely strike
the inhabitants of that city with
the
edge
of
the sword ,
destroying
it
utterly,
and
all that
is
therein
and the
cattle
of
it,
with
the
edge
of
the
sword
.
you must
surely put
the inhabitants of that city to
the sword .
Devote
to
destruction
all its
people
and livestock
.
You shall
gather all the
spoil
of
it
into
the midst
of the street
of
it
, and shall
burn with
fire
the city ,
and all the
spoil
of
it
every
whit,
to Yahweh
your God :
and
it
shall
be
a heap
forever ;
it
shall
not
be built
again
.
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
.
There
shall
cleave
nothing of
the
devoted thing
to your hand;
that Yahweh
may
turn from the
fierceness
of
his anger, and
show
you mercy, and
have
compassion
on
you, and multiply you ,
as he has
sworn
to your fathers ;
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 ,
when
you shall
listen
to
the voice
of
Yahweh
your God, to
keep
all his commandments which
I command
you this
day,
to
do
that
which
is right in the eyes of Yahweh
your God.
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.
