Chapter 13
Deuteronomy Chapter 13 Starts on Warning About Adding and Removing as the Greek Book Did
This Is One Of The Chapters That Made Most Christians Quit
New Teachings such as:
1. Body and bread being eaten and drunk
2. Human sacrifice, cross, Roman soldiers, place of skull – Calvary
3. 3-in-1 G-d or Trinity
& a lot more contradictions to what G-d said and commanded
“False Prophet”
The entire word that I command you, that shall you observe to do; you shall not add to it and you shall not subtract from it.
13:1
If there should stand up in your midst a prophet or a dreamer of a dream, and he will produce to you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes about, of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us follow gods of others that you did not know and we shall worship them!” –
:2-3
do not hearken to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of a dream, for Hashem, your God, is testing you to know whether you love Hashem, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul.
:4
Hashem, your God, shall you follow and Him shall you fear; His commandments shall you observe and to His voice shall you hearken; Him shall you serve and to Him shall you cleave.
:5
And that prophet and that dreamer of a dream shall be put to death, for he had spoken perversion against Hashem, your God – … – to make you stray from the path on which Hashem, your God, has commanded you to go; and you shall destroy the evil from your midst.
:6
If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is like your own soul will entice you secretly, saying, “Let us go and worship the gods of others” – that you did not know, you or your forefathers.
:7
you shall not accede to him and not hearken to him; your eye shall not take pity on him, you shall not be compassionate nor conceal him.
:9
… when you hearken to the voice of Hashem, your God, to observe all His commandments that I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of Hashem, your God.
:19
1 Everything I command you that you shall be careful to do it. You shall neither add to it, nor subtract from it.
2 If there will arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of a dream, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
3 and the sign or the wonder of which he spoke to you happens, [and he] says, “Let us go after other gods which you have not known, and let us worship them,”
4 you shall not heed the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of a dream; for the Lord, your God, is testing you, to know whether you really love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul.
5 You shall follow the Lord, your God, fear Him, keep His commandments, heed His voice, worship Him, and cleave to Him.
6 And that prophet, or that dreamer of a dream shall be put to death; because he spoke falsehood about the Lord, your God Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and Who redeemed you from the house of bondage, to lead you astray from the way in which the Lord, your God, commanded you to go; so shall you clear away the evil from your midst.
7 If your brother, the son of your mother, tempts you in secret or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your embrace, or your friend, who is as your own soul saying, “Let us go and worship other gods, which neither you, nor your forefathers have known.”
8 Of the gods of the peoples around you, [whether] near to you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth;
9 You shall not desire him, and you shall not hearken to him; neither shall you pity him, have mercy upon him, nor shield him.
10 But you shall surely kill him, your hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
11 And you shall stone him with stones so that he dies, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
12 And all Israel shall listen and fear, and they shall no longer do any evil such as this in your midst.
13 If you hear in one of your cities which the Lord, your God, is giving you to dwell therein, saying,
14 “Unfaithful men have gone forth from among you and have led the inhabitants of their city astray, saying, ‘Let us go and worship other gods, which you have not known.’ “
15 Then you shall inquire, investigate, and ask thoroughly, and, behold, it is true, the matter is certain, that such abomination has been committed in your midst:
16 You shall surely strike down the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroy it with all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
17 And you shall collect all its spoil into the midst of its open square, and burn with fire the city and all its spoil, completely, for the Lord, your God; and it shall be a heap of destruction forever, never to be rebuilt.
18 And nothing that is doomed to destruction shall cling to your hand, so that the Lord may return from His fierce wrath, and grant you compassion, and be compassionate with you, and multiply you, as He swore to your forefathers.
19 For you shall hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep all His commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is proper in the eyes of the Lord, your God.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
