Deuteronomy 13:13-15

Lexham English Bible

¹³ worthless men^[a] have gone out from your midst and have seduced the inhabitants of their town, saying,^[b] ‘Let us go and serve other gods!’ whom you have not known, ¹⁴ then you shall inquire and examine and interrogate thoroughly, and, look! It is true; the thing has actually been done, this detestable thing in your midst, ¹⁵ then you shall certainly strike down the inhabitants of that town with the edge^[c] of the sword; you shall destroy it and everything in it, its domestic animals with the edge^[d] of the sword.
