the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
[19] Take heed to thyself that thou forsake
not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
[20] When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border,
as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou
mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
[21] If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen
to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the
LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul
lusteth after.
[22] Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the
clean shall eat of them alike.
[23] Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and
thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
[24] Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as
water.
[25] Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou
shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
[26] Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy
vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
[27] And thou shalt offer
thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy
sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
[28] Observe
and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children
after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
[29]
When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them,
and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
[30] Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared
by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods,
saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
[31] Thou shalt not do so
unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their
gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
[32] What thing
soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Deut.13
[1] If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
[2]
And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other
gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
[3] Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of
that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love
the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
[4] Ye shall walk after the LORD your God,
and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave
unto him.
[5] And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken
to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed
you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded
thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
[6] If thy brother, the son of thy
mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul,
entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy
fathers;
[7] Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from
thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
[8] Thou shalt not consent unto
him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou
conceal him:
[9] But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and
afterwards the hand of all the people.
[10] And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he
hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
from the house of bondage.
[11] And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness
as this is among you.
[12] If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given
thee to dwell there, saying,
[13] Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and
have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not
known;
[14] Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and
the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
[15] Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants
of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof,
with the edge of the sword.
[16] And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof,
and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall
be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
[17] And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to
