Deuteronomy 13:9 Context
7Namely of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh vnto thee, or farre off from thee, from the one end of the earth, euen vnto the other end of the earth: 8Thou shalt not consent vnto him nor hearken vnto him, neither shall thine eye pitie him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceale him. 9But thou shalt surely kill him: Thine hand shall be first vpon him, to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 10And thou shalt stone him with stones, that hee die: because hee 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. 11And all Israel shall heare, and feare, and shall doe no more any such wickednesse as this is, among you.
