Deuteronomy 13:9–16

⁹but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to ^mdeath, and afterward the hand of all the people. ¹⁰And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. ¹¹So all Israel shall hear and ⁿfear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you.

^12o“If you hear someone in one of your cities, which the Lord your God gives you to dwell in, saying, ¹³⁵‘Corrupt men have gone out from among you and enticed the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” ’—which you have not known—¹⁴then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an ⁶abomination was committed among you, ¹⁵you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock—with the edge of the sword. ¹⁶And you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and ⁷completely ^pburn with fire the city and all its plunder, for the Lord your God. It shall be ^qa ⁸heap forever; it shall not be built again.
