DEU 13:1–13:18 ©

The Book of Deuteronomy 13

13In the future, there could be people in your community who say that they are prophets. They may say that they are able to interpret the meaning of dreams or perform various kinds of miracles. 2They will say those things to convince you to worship gods that you have never known about before. But even if what they predict happens, 3do not pay attention to what they say. This is because Yahweh our God will observe how you behave to find out if you love him with all your inner being. 4You must conduct your lives as Yahweh our God wants you to. You must honor him, do what he tells you to do, and be faithful to him.

5But you must execute anyone who tells you to disobey Yahweh our God. This includes anyone who says he is a prophet, or anyone who says that he can interpret dreams. This is because Yahweh himself rescued your families from being slaves in Egypt. Those people want to convince you to disobey what Yahweh has told you to do. Execute them to get rid of those kinds of evil acts in your community. 6Your brother, son, daughter, wife or some close friend might privately urge you to disobey. They might urge you to worship other gods that you and your ancestors never knew about before. 7They might urge you to worship gods that nearby or faraway people groups worship. 8Do not do what they suggest. Do not even listen to them. Do not act mercifully toward them, and do not keep secret what they have done. 9Execute them! Be the first one to throw stones at them to kill them. Then, everyone else must throw stones at them, too. 10Kill such people by throwing stones at them. This is because they tell you to disobey Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt. 11When they are executed, all the Israelite people will hear what happened. They will become afraid, and none of them will do such an evil thing again.

12When you are living in one of the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, you may hear 13that some worthless people among you are deceiving the people of their town. They might urge you to worship other gods. 14Examine the facts about it thoroughly. Suppose you find out that it is true that such a disgraceful thing has happened. 15Then kill all the people in that town. And kill all their livestock, too. Destroy the town completely. 16Gather all the possessions that belonged to the people who lived there and pile them up in the city plaza. Then burn the town and everything in it. It will be like an offering to Yahweh that was completely burned on the altar. The ruins must stay there forever. The town must never be rebuilt. 17You must not take for yourselves anything that Yahweh has said must be destroyed. If you do what I say, Yahweh will stop being angry with you, and he will act mercifully toward you. And he will cause you to have many children, which is what he promised our ancestors that he would do. 18Yahweh our God will do all those things if you do what he is telling you to do, obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today, and do what Yahweh says is right for you to do.
