So you shall purge the evil from your midst.*

6“If anyone secretly entices you—even if it is your brother, your father’s son orf your mother’s son, or your own son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your most intimate friend—saying, ‘Let us go serve other gods,’ whom neither you nor your ancestors have known,*
