Deuteronomy 13

13
1If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives youi a sign or a wonder,
2And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke unto youi, saying, Let us go after other gods, which youi have not known, and let us serve them;
3youi shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] proves you, to know whether you2f love the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] with all your heart and with all your soul.
4You2f shall walk after the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you2f shall serve him, and cling to (hold onto; stick to) him.
5And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he has spoken to turn [you] away from the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], which brought you out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust youi out of the way which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] commanded youi to walk in. So shall youi put the evil away from the midst of youi.
6If youi brother, the son of youi mother, or youi son, or youi daughter, or the wife of youi bosom, or youi friend, which [is] as youi own soul, entice youi secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which youi have not known, youi, nor youi fathers;
7 [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, near unto youi, or far off from youi, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth;
8youi shall not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall youi eye pity him, neither shall youi spare, neither shall youi conceal him:
9But youi shall surely kill him; youi hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10And youi shall stone him with stones, that he die; because he has sought to thrust youi away from the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], which brought youi out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], from the house of bondage.
11And all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
12If youi shall hear [say] in one of youi cities, which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has given youi to dwell there, saying,
13 [Certain] men, the children of Belial [Worthless, Good for Nothing], are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you2f have not known;
14Then shall youi enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, [if it be] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought among you;
15youi shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] in it, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
16And youi shall gather all the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shall burn with fire the city, and all the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) thereof every whit, for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: and it shall be an heap forever; it shall not be built again.
17And there shall cleave (split open; cut open; divide) nothing (bad; vain) of the cursed thing to youi hand: that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show youi mercy, and have compassion upon youi, and multiply youi, as he has sworn unto youi fathers;
18When youi shall hearken to the voice of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to keep all his commandments which I command youi this day, to do [that which is] right in the eyes of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
