1
When there arises among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives thee a sign or a wonder,
2
and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them,
3
thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God proves you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4
Ye shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him and keep his commandments and hear his voice, and ye shall serve him and cleave unto him.
5
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and ransomed you out of the house of slavery, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
6
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son or thy daughter or the wife of thy bosom or thy friend who
is as thine own soul should entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou nor thy fathers have known,

namely, of the gods of the peoples who
are round about you, near unto thee or far off from thee, from the
one end of the earth even unto the
other end of the earth,
