Deuteronomy 13:6–11
6 “If your brother, the son of your mother or your son or your daughter ⌊or your wife whom you embrace⌋g or ⌊your intimate friend⌋h in secrecy ⌊says⌋,i ‘Let us go and let us serve other gods!’ gods that you and your ancestorsj have not known, 7 from among the gods of the people who are around you, ⌊those near you or those far from you⌋,k from one end of the earth and up to the other end of the earth, 8 you must not give in to him, and you shall not listen to him, and your eye shall not take pity on him, and you shall not have compassion, and you shall not cover upl for him. 9 But you shall certainly kill him; your hand shall be first against him to kill him and next the hand of all of the people. 10 And you shall stone him with stones and let him die, for he tried to seduce you from Yahweh your God, the one bringing you from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. 11 And all of Israel shall hear, and they shall fear, and ⌊they shall not continue to act⌋m according to this evil thing in your midst.
