4. You must be completely faithful to the Lord. Worship and obey only the Lord and do this with fear and trembling,
5. because he rescued you from slavery in Egypt.If a prophet tells you to disobey the Lord your God and to stop worshipping him, then that prophet is evil and must be put to death.
11. And when the rest of Israel hears about it, they will be afraid, and no one else will ever do such an evil thing again.
12. After the Lord your God gives you towns to live in, you may hear a rumour about one of the towns.
13. You may hear that some worthless people have talked everyone there into worshipping other gods, even though these gods had never done anything for them.
14. You must carefully find out if the rumour is true. Then if the people of that town have actually done such a disgusting thing in your own country,
15. you must take your swords and kill every one of them, and their livestock too.
18. That's why you must do what the Lord your God says is right. I am giving you his laws and teachings today, and you must obey them.
