The
Test of False Prophets
“If
there rise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and give you a sign or
a wonder, and the sign or wonder is to the effect that you should go after
other gods, which you have not known and to serve them, do not listen to the
words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God tests
you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all
your soul. You shall walk after the Lord
your God and fear Him, and obey His commandments and hear His voice and serve
Him and cleave unto Him. And that
prophet, or dream of dreams shall be put to death because he has spoken to turn
you away from the Lord your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to turn you away out of the way
the Lord our God commanded you to walk.
Therefore you should put the evil prophet out of your way from among
you.”
If
your brother or any other close relative try to entice you away from serving
your God and to serve other gods you must not consent to do so, or listen to
him, or pity him or spare him or conceal his wickedness. Rather it is your duty to kill him, you
striking the first blow and the people finishing him off by atoning him with
stones until he dies; so that all Israel shall hear and fear, and no more go
after other gods nor harbor such wickedness among you.
