‏ Deuteronomy 13:6-11

6 ^a“If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or ^bthe wife you embrace ^{▼▼Hebrew the wife of your bosom} or your friend ^dwho is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ ^ewhich neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 some ^fof the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, 8 you shall ^gnot yield to him or listen to him, nor ^hshall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him. 9 But you shall kill him. ⁱYour hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 10 ^jYou shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 11 And ^kall Israel shall hear and fear and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.
