Deuteronomy 18:10-13

10 nec inveniatur in te qui lustret filium suum aut filiam ducens per ignem aut qui ariolos sciscitetur et observet somnia atque auguria ne sit maleficus

11 ne incantator ne pythones consulat ne divinos et quaerat a mortuis veritatem

12 omnia enim haec abominatur Dominus et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo

13 perfectus eris et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo

Deuteronomy 18:10-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 18

This chapter gives an account of the provision made for the priests and Levites, with the reason of it, De 18:1-5, of allowance of a country Levite to minister at Jerusalem, and take his portion with the rest, De 18:6-8, and of several persons of bad practices not to be suffered among the people of Israel, De 18:9-14, and of an extraordinary prophet that should be raised up among them, to whom they should hearken, or it would be the worse for them, De 18:15-19, but a false prophet was to be put to death, of whom a sign is given by which he might be known, De 18:20-22.
