Warnings against divination and magic

Deu 18:9–14

18:9 Warnings against divination and magic

9 When you enter the land that your god Yahweh is about to give you, don’t imitate the disgusting habits of those peoples. 10 There mustn’t be anyone among you who passes their son or daughter through fire, or who uses divination or omens to try to tell the future,[ref] or who practices sorcery,[ref] 11 or who puts spells on people, or who tries to talk to spirits of deceased people, 12 because anyone who does those things is abhorrent to Yahweh. It’s because of those kinds of things that your god Yahweh will drive those other peoples away ahead of you. 13 You must be a blameless nation in the eyes of your god Yahweh,[ref] 14 because the groups that you’ll expel from the land rely on fortune-tellers and diviners, but your god Yahweh won’t allow you to do that.
