⁶ ‘As for the person who turns to ^[a](A)mediums and to spiritists, to play the prostitute with them, I will also set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

²⁷ ‘Now a man or a woman ^(A)who is a medium or a spiritist ^[a]must be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; they have brought their ^[b]own deaths upon themselves.’”

¹¹ or one who casts a spell, ^(A)or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who consults the dead.

³ Now ^(A)Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned him and buried him ^(B)in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the ^(C)mediums and spiritists from the land.

¹⁹ When they say to you, “^(A)Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should a people not ^(B)consult their God? Should they ^(C)consult the dead in behalf of the living?
