²⁶ ‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.

³¹ ‘Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after ^(A)them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

¹⁰ There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter ^(A)pass^[a] through the fire, ^(B)or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, ^11 (C)or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or ^(D)one who calls up the dead. ¹² For all who do these things are ^[b]an abomination to the Lord, and ^(E)because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. ¹³ You shall be ^[c]blameless before the Lord your God. ¹⁴ For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not ^[d]appointed such for you.

^17 (A)And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, ^(B)practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and ^(C)sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.
