If there rise among you a prophet,1 ⟨image 70⟩or a dreamer of dreams, and give thee a sign or wonder, & that sign or wonder which he hath said, come to pass, and then say: let us go after strange Gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them: hearken not thou unto the words of that prophet, or dreamer of dreams: For the Lord thy God proveth you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your hart, & with all your soul. Ye shall walk after y• Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandment, and hearken unto his voice, serve him, & cleave unto him. And that prophet, or dreamer of dreams, shall die, because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God.
