Deuteronomy 13:1-2

¹If there rise in the midst of thee a prophet or one that saith he hath dreamed a dream, and he foretell a sign and a wonder,a

²And that come to pass which he spoke, and he say to thee: Let us go and follow strange gods, which thou knowest not, and let us serve them:

Deuteronomy 13 presents a stark warning against idolatry and apostasy, outlining severe penalties for those who would lead Israel astray from the worship of the one true God. It addresses three specific scenarios: false prophets, close relatives or friends enticing to idolatry, and entire towns turning to other gods. The chapter underscores the absolute exclusivity of Yahweh's claim on Israel's worship, demanding unwavering loyalty and swift, decisive action against any threat to their covenant fidelity.
