See thou consent not unto him nor
hearken unto him: no, let not thine eye pity him nor have
compassion on him, nor keep him secret, but cause him to be slain:
Thine hand shall be first upon him to kill him: and then the hands
of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones that he
die, because he hath gone about to thrust thee away from the LORD
thy God which brought thee out of Egypt the house of bondage. And
all Israel shall hear and fear and shall do no more and such
wickedness as this is, among them. If thou shalt hear say of one
of thy cities which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell in,
that certain being the children of Belial are gone out from among
you and have moved the inhabiters of their city saying: let us go
and serve strange gods which ye have not known. Then seek and make
search and enquire diligently. If it be true and the thing of a
surety that such abomination is wrought among you: then thou shalt
smite the dwellers of that city with the edge of the sword, and
destroy it merciless and all that is therein, and even the very
cattle thereof with the edge of the sword. And gather all the
spoil of it into the midst of the streets thereof, and burn with
fire: both the city and all the spoil thereof every whit unto the
LORD thy God.
