¹⁰Don’t let anyone among you offer a son or daughter as a sacrifice in the fire. Don’t let anyone use magic or witchcraft, or try to explain the meaning of signs. ¹¹Don’t let anyone try to control others with magic, and don’t let them be mediums or try to talk with the spirits of dead people. ¹²The Lord hates anyone who does these things. Because the other nations do these things, the Lord your God will force them out of the land ahead of you.
