1 If there arise * h6965 h8799 among * h7130 you a prophet * h5030, or a dreamer * h2492 h8802 of dreams * h2472, and giveth * h5414 h8804 thee a sign * h226 or a wonder * h4159,
2 And the sign * h226 or the wonder * h4159 come to pass * h935 h8804, whereof he spake * h1696 h8765 unto thee, saying * h559 h8800, Let us go * h3212 h8799 after * h310 other * h312 gods * h430, which thou hast not known * h3045 h8804, and let us serve * h5647 h8714 them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken * h8085 h8799 unto the words * h1697 of that prophet * h5030, or that dreamer * h2492 h8802 of dreams * h2472: for the LORD * h3068 your God * h430 proveth * h5254 h8764 you, to know * h3045 h8800 whether ye * h3426 love * h157 h8802 the LORD * h3068 your God * h430 with all your heart * h3824 and with all your soul * h5315.
4 Ye shall walk * h3212 h8799 after * h310 the LORD * h3068 your God * h430, and fear * h3372 h8799 him, and keep * h8104 h8799 his commandments * h4687, and obey * h8085 h8799 his voice * h6963, and ye shall serve * h5647 h8799 him, and cleave * h1692 h8799 unto him.
5 And that prophet * h5030, or that dreamer * h2492 h8802 of dreams * h2472, shall be put to death * h4191 h8714; because he hath spoken * h1696 h8765 to turn * h5627 you away from the LORD * h3068 your God * h430, which brought you out * h3318 h8688 of the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, and redeemed * h6299 h8802 you out of the house * h1004 of bondage * h5650, to thrust * h5080 h8687 thee out of the way * h1870 which the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 commanded * h6680 h8765 thee to walk in * h3212 h8800. So shalt thou put * h1197 the evil * h7451 away * h1197 h8765 from the midst * h7130 of thee. to turn...: Heb. revolt against the LORD
6 If thy brother * h251, the son * h1121 of thy mother * h517, or thy son * h1121, or thy daughter * h1323, or the wife * h802 of thy bosom * h2436, or thy friend * h7453, which is as thine own soul * h5315, entice * h5496 h8686 thee secretly * h5643, saying * h559 h8800, Let us go * h3212 h8799 and serve * h5647 h8799 other * h312 gods * h430, which thou hast not known * h3045 h8804, thou, nor thy fathers * h1;
7 Namely , of the gods * h430 of the people * h5971 which are round about * h5439 you, nigh * h7138 unto thee, or far off * h7350 from thee, from the one end * h7097 of the earth * h776 even unto the other end * h7097 of the earth * h776;
8 Thou shalt not consent * h14 h8799 unto him, nor hearken * h8085 h8799 unto him; neither shall thine eye * h5869 pity * h2347 h8799 him, neither shalt thou spare * h2550 h8799, neither shalt thou conceal * h3680 h8762 him:
9 But thou shalt surely * h2026 h8800 kill * h2026 h8799 him; thine hand * h3027 shall be first * h7223 upon him to put him to death * h4191 h8687, and afterwards * h314 the hand * h3027 of all the people * h5971.
10 And thou shalt stone * h5619 h8804 him with stones * h68, that he die * h4191 h8804; because he hath sought * h1245 h8765 to thrust thee away * h5080 h8687 from the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430, which brought thee out * h3318 h8688 of the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, from the house * h1004 of bondage * h5650. bondage: Heb. bondmen
11 And all Israel * h3478 shall hear * h8085 h8799, and fear * h3372 h8799, and shall do * h6213 h8800 no more * h3254 h8686 any * h1697 such wickedness * h7451 as this is among * h7130 you.
12 If thou shalt hear * h8085 h8799 say in one * h259 of thy cities * h5892, which the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 hath given * h5414 h8802 thee to dwell * h3427 h8800 there, saying * h559 h8800,
13 Certain men * h582, the children * h1121 of Belial * h1100, are gone out * h3318 h8804 from among * h7130 you, and have withdrawn * h5080 h8686 the inhabitants * h3427 h8802 of their city * h5892, saying * h559 h8800, Let us go * h3212 h8799 and serve * h5647 h8799 other * h312 gods * h430, which ye have not known * h3045 h8804; the children...: or, naughty men
14 Then shalt thou enquire * h1875 h8804, and make search * h2713 h8804, and ask * h7592 h8804 diligently * h3190 h8687; and, behold, if it be truth * h571, and the thing * h1697 certain * h3559 h8737, that such * h2063 abomination * h8441 is wrought * h6213 h8738 among * h7130 you;
15 Thou shalt surely * h5221 h8687 smite * h5221 h8686 the inhabitants * h3427 h8802 of that city * h5892 with the edge * h6310 of the sword * h2719, destroying it utterly * h2763 h8685, and all that is therein, and the cattle * h929 thereof, with the edge * h6310 of the sword * h2719.
16 And thou shalt gather * h6908 h8799 all the spoil * h7998 of it into the midst * h8432 of the street * h7339 thereof, and shalt burn * h8313 h8804 with fire * h784 the city * h5892, and all the spoil * h7998 thereof every whit * h3632, for the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430: and it shall be an heap * h8510 for ever * h5769; it shall not be built again * h1129 h8735.
17 And there shall cleave * h1692 h8799 nought * h3972 of the cursed thing * h2764 to thine hand * h3027: that the LORD * h3068 may turn * h7725 h8799 from the fierceness * h2740 of his anger * h639, and shew * h5414 h8804 thee mercy * h7356, and have compassion * h7355 h8765 upon thee, and multiply * h7235 h8689 thee, as he hath sworn * h7650 h8738 unto thy fathers * h1; cursed: or, devoted
18 When thou shalt hearken * h8085 h8799 to the voice * h6963 of the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430, to keep * h8104 h8800 all his commandments * h4687 which I command * h6680 h8764 thee this day * h3117, to do * h6213 h8800 that which is right * h3477 in the eyes * h5869 of the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430.
