Deuteronomio 13:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 13:13

Certain men, the children of Belial
Which signify either persons without a yoke, who have thrown off the yoke of God's law, and will not submit to it, or unprofitable ones, as wicked men be, both to God, themselves, and others:

are gone out from among you;
not locally, but with respect to their religious sentiments and practices, having separated themselves from the people of God, and from the service of the sanctuary, the true worship of God, and a profession of it, and given into the worship of idols:

and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city;
withdrawn them by the force of persuasion from the worship of the true God, and drawn them into idolatry:

saying, let us go and serve other gods;
unite as one man in the worship of the gods of the Gentiles:

which ye have not known;
this was not said by the children of Belial, but is added by the Lord by way of explanation, showing what gods they were that these men advised them to serve, and confirms the observation made on ( Deuteronomy 13:6 ) .

Deuteronomio 13:13 In-Context

11 para que todo Israel oiga, y tema, y no vuelva a hacer semejante maldad en medio de ti

12 Cuando oyeres de alguna de tus ciudades que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da para que mores en ellas, que se dice

13 Hombres, hijos de Belial, han salido de en medio de ti, que han instigado a los moradores de su ciudad, diciendo: Vamos y sirvamos a dioses ajenos, que vosotros no conocisteis

14 tú inquirirás, y buscarás, y preguntarás con diligencia; y si pareciere verdad, cosa cierta, que tal abominación se hizo en medio de ti

15 irremisiblemente herirás a filo de espada a los moradores de aquella ciudad, destruyéndola con todo lo que en ella hubiere, y también sus bestias a filo de espada
