DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 13
- Deuteronomy 13:1 'When there ariseth in your midst a prophet, or a dreamer of a dream, and he hath given unto thee a sign or wonder,
- 13:2 and the sign and the wonder hath come which he hath spoken of unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods (which thou hast not known), and serve them,
- 13:3 thou dost not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of the dream, for YHWH your God is trying you, to know whether ye are loving YHWH your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;
- 13:4 after YHWH your God ye walk, and Him ye fear, and His commands ye keep, and to His voice ye hearken, and Him ye serve, and to Him ye cleave.
- 13:5 'And that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, is put to death, for he hath spoken apostacy against YHWH your God (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and hath ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which YHWH thy God hath commanded thee to walk, and thou hast put away the evil thing from thy midst.
- 13:6 'When thy brother -- son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who [is] as thine own soul -- doth move thee, in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods -- (which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers,
- 13:7 of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you, who are near unto thee, or who are far off from thee, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth) --
- 13:8 thou dost not consent to him, nor hearken unto him, nor doth thine eye have pity on him, nor dost thou spare, nor dost thou cover him over.
- 13:9 'But thou dost surely kill him; thy hand is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last;
- Deuteronomy 13:10 and thou hast stoned him with stones, and he hath died, for he hath sought to drive thee away from YHWH thy God, who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
- 13:11 and all Israel do hear and fear, and add not to do like this evil thing in thy midst.
- 13:12 'When thou hearest, in one of thy cities which YHWH thy God is giving to thee to dwell there, [one] saying,
- 13:13 Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of thy midst, and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known --
- 13:14 and thou hast enquired, and searched, and asked diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in thy midst:
- 13:15 'Thou dost surely smite the inhabitants of that city by the mouth of the sword; devoting it, and all that [is] in it, even its cattle, by the mouth of the sword;
- 13:16 and all its spoil thou dost gather unto the midst of its broad place, and hast burned with fire the city and all its spoil completely, before YHWH thy God, and it hath been a heap age-during, it is not built any more;
- 13:17 and there doth not cleave to thy hand any of the devoted thing, so that YHWH doth turn back from the fierceness of His anger, and hath given to thee mercies, and loved thee, and multiplied thee, as He hath sworn to thy fathers,
- 13:18 when thou dost hearken to the voice of YHWH thy God, to keep all his commands which I am commanding thee to-day, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH thy God.

- 14:7 'Only, this ye do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit, for they are bringing up the cud but the hoof have not divided; unclean they [are] to you;

- 14:14 and every raven after its kind;
- 14:15 and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind;

- 14:22 'Thou dost certainly tithe all the increase of thy seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;
- 14:23 and thou hast eaten before YHWH thy God, in the place where He doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd, and of thy flock, so that thou dost learn to fear YHWH thy God all the days.

DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 15
- Deuteronomy 15:1 'At the end of seven years thou dost make a release,
- 15:2 and this [is] the matter of the release: Every owner of a loan [is] to release his hand which he doth lift up against his neighbour, he doth not exact of his neighbour and of his brother, but hath proclaimed a release to YHWH;
- 15:3 of the stranger thou mayest exact, and that which is thine with thy brother doth thy hand release;

- 15:5 'Only, if thou dost diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH thy God, to observe to do all this command which I am commanding thee to-day,

- 15:9 'Take heed to thee lest there be a word in thy heart -- worthless, saying, Near [is] the seventh year, the year of release; and thine eye is evil against thy needy brother, and thou dost not give to him, and he hath called concerning thee unto YHWH, and it hath been in thee sin;
- Deuteronomy 15:10 thou dost certainly give to him, and thy heart is not sad in thy giving to him, for because of this thing doth YHWH thy God bless thee in all thy works, and in every putting forth of thy hand;
- 15:11 because the needy one doth not cease out of the land, therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Thou dost certainly open thy hand to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy one, in thy land.
- 15:12 'When thy brother is sold to thee, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he hath served thee six years -- then in the seventh year thou dost send him away free from thee.
- 15:13 And when thou dost send him away free from thee, thou dost not send him away empty;
- 15:14 thou dost certainly encircle him out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-vat; [of] that which YHWH thy God hath blessed thee thou dost give to him,
- 15:15 and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and YHWH thy God doth ransom thee; therefore I am commanding thee this thing to-day.

- 15:21 'And when there is in it a blemish, lame, or blind, any evil blemish, thou dost not sacrifice it to YHWH thy God;
- 15:22 within thy gates thou dost eat it, the unclean and the clean alike, as the roe, and as the hart.
- 15:23 Only, its blood thou dost not eat; on the earth thou dost pour it as water.
