English Translation
And the prophet or the dreamer shall be put to death because he has spoken perversely against the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage to turn you away from the way which the LORD your God commanded you to walk in; and you shall purge the evil from your midst.
