Primary Verses:
-
Deut. 13:1-3
-
"If there arise among you a
prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign
or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass,
whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after
other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve
them; Thou shalt not
hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer
of dreams: for YHVH your God proveth
you, to know whether ye love YHVH your God with all your
heart and with all your soul."
-
Deut. 13:6-9
-
"If thy brother, the son of thy
mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy
bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul,
entice thee secretly,
saying, Let us go and serve other gods,
which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about
you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one
end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
Thou shalt not
consent unto him, nor hearken unto him;
neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou
spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt
surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to
put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the
people."
-
Deut. 13:12-15
-
"If thou shalt hear say in one
of thy cities, which YHVH thy God hath given thee to
dwell there, saying,
Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone
out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants
of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods,
which ye have not known; Then shalt
thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and,
behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such
abomination is wrought among you;
Thou shalt surely
smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the
sword, destroying it utterly, and all
that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge
of the sword."
