Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deuteronomy chapter thirteen. If there arise among you a prophet
or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth THEE a sign
or a wonder, 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. Thou shalt not hearken unto the

(00:22):
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. 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. And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams

(00:45):
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. If thy brother, the son

(01:06):
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, namely of the gods the people
which are round about you, nigh unto THEE, or far

(01:26):
off from THEE, from the one end of the earth,
even unto the other end of the earth. Thou shalt
not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him. Neither shalt
thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt
thou conceal him. But thou shalt surely kill him. Thine
hand shall be first upon him to put him to death,

(01:47):
and afterwards the hands of all the people. 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. And all Israel shall hear and fear,
and shall do no more any such wickedness as this
is among you. If thou shalt hearsay in one of

(02:10):
thy cities, was the Lord thy God hath given thee
to dwell their saying, certain men, the children of Biliel
are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the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. Then shalt thou
inquire and make serch, and ask diligently. And behold, if

(02:32):
it be truth and the thing certain, that such abomination
is wrought among you, 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. And thou shalt gather
all the spoil of it into the midst of the
street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city and

(02:54):
all the spoil thereof, every whit for the Lord thy God,
and it shall be in heap forever shall not be
built again. And there shalt cleave nought of the cursed
thing to thine hand, that the Lord may turn from
the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy and
have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath
sworn unto thy fathers. When thou shalt hearken to the

(03:17):
voice of the Lord thy God to keep all his commandments,
which I command thee this day, to do that which
is right in the eyes of the Lord thy God,
