De 13:1-5.
ENTICERS TO IDOLATRY TO BE PUT TO DEATH.
1. If there arise among you a prophet--The special counsels which follow arose out of the general precept contained in
De 12:32;
and the purport of them is, that every attempt to seduce others from the course of duty which that divine standard of faith and worship prescribes must not only be strenuously resisted, but the seducer punished by the law of the land. This is exemplified in three cases of enticement to idolatry.
a prophet--that is, some notable person laying claim to the character and authority of the prophetic office
(Nu 12:6; 1Sa 10:6),
performing feats of dexterity or power in support of his pretensions, or even predicting events which occurred as he foretold; as, for instance, an eclipse which a knowledge of natural science might enable him to anticipate (or, as Caiaphas,
Joh 18:14).
Should the aim of such a one be to seduce the people from the worship of the true God, he is an impostor and must be put to death. No prodigy, however wonderful, no human authority, however great, should be allowed to shake their belief in the divine character and truth of a religion so solemnly taught and so awfully attested (compare
Ga 1:8).
The modern Jews appeal to this passage as justifying their rejection of Jesus Christ. But He possessed all the characteristics of a true prophet, and He was so far from alienating the people from God and His worship that the grand object of His ministry was to lead to a purer, more spiritual and perfect observance of the law.

De 13:6-18.
繁體中文
申 13:6-18.
不拘親屬遠近。
6. 你的同胞……若暗中引誘你——"弟兄"一詞在一切東方國家用法甚為寬泛
(創 20:13)，
故此另加措辭表明：無論親屬關係何等親密，都不得包庇引誘人拜偶像者，不得隱瞞其罪，也不得庇護其人。敬虔與責任必須勝過親情或憐憫，並須向官長提出控告。

De 13:6-18.
WITHOUT REGARD TO NEARNESS OF RELATION.
6. If thy brother . . . entice thee secretly--This term being applied very loosely in all Eastern countries
(Ge 20:13),
other expressions are added to intimate that no degree of kindred, however intimate, should be allowed to screen an enticer to idolatry, to conceal his crime, or protect his person. Piety and duty must overcome affection or compassion, and an accusation must be lodged before a magistrate.

9. 你總要殺他——不是匆忙行事，也不是私下進行，而是在審判定罪之後；其作為告發人的親屬要先擲下第一塊石頭
(參 申 17:2;
徒 7:58)。
顯然，在暗中行的事不能由單一告發者在法律上證實；因此猶太作者說，有人在屋中隱秘之處設下密探，以竊聽言談、監視被懷疑有拜偶像傾向之人的行為。

9. thou shalt surely kill him--not hastily, or in a private manner, but after trial and conviction; and his relative, as informer, was to cast the first stone (see on
De 17:2;
Ac 7:58).
It is manifest that what was done in secret could not be legally proved by a single informer; and hence Jewish writers say that spies were set in some private part of the house, to hear the conversation and watch the conduct of a person suspected of idolatrous tendencies.

12-18. 有些無賴之子——無法無天、存心險惡的煽動者
(士 19:22; 撒上 1:16; 25:25)，
他們濫用自己的影響力，引誘城中居民轉去拜偶像。

12-18. Certain men, the children of Belial--lawless, designing demagogues
(Jud 19:22; 1Sa 1:16; 25:25),
who abused their influence to withdraw the inhabitants of the city to idol-worship.

14. 你就要探聽——即官長，此事正式屬於其職權。若查明報告屬實，便要對那背道的居民展開最簡捷的訴訟程序。本章的律法雖被描述為嚴厲而血腥，卻與以色列的國家憲法相符。神既是他們的王，拜偶像就是叛國；一座轉去拜偶像的城便使自己處於叛亂的狀態，並招致叛亂的刑罰。

14. Then shalt thou inquire--that is, the magistrate, to whom it officially belonged to make the necessary investigation. In the event of the report proving true, the most summary proceedings were to be commenced against the apostate inhabitants. The law in this chapter has been represented as stern and sanguinary, but it was in accordance with the national constitution of Israel. God being their King, idolatry was treason, and a city turned to idols put itself into a state, and incurred the punishment, of rebellion.

17. 那當滅的物連一點都不可粘你的手——從如此莊嚴地獻於毀滅的城中，不可取任何掠物。凡有氣息的必須用刀殺盡——屬於該城的一切都要化為灰燼——除了其臭名之外，甚麼也不可存留。

17. there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing to thine hand--No spoil shall be taken from a city thus solemnly devoted to destruction. Every living creature must be put to the sword--everything belonging to it reduced to ashes--that nothing but its infamy may remain.
申 13:1-5.
引誘人拜偶像者當治死。
1. 你們中間若有先知——以下的特別訓誨出自
申 12:32
的一般誡命；其要旨是：凡試圖引誘別人偏離那神聖信仰和敬拜標準所規定的本分之路的，不僅當堅決抵制，引誘者更當受律法之刑。這以三個引誘拜偶像的案例為例證。
先知——即某位聲稱具有先知職事之性質和權威的顯赫人物
(民 12:6; 撒上 10:6)，
以其靈巧或大能的作為支持其聲稱，甚至預言如期應驗的事件；例如他可憑自然科學知識預見的日蝕（又如該亞法，
約 18:14)。
若這樣的人目的在於引誘百姓離棄對真神的敬拜，他就是騙子，必須被治死。無論何等奇妙的異象，無論何等大的人物權威，都不應動搖他們對這樣嚴肅教導、這樣可畏印證之宗教的神聖性質和真理的信念（參
加 1:8)。
現代猶太人引此段為他們拒絕耶穌基督的辯護。但祂具備真先知的一切特徵，祂非但沒有使百姓遠離神和祂的敬拜，祂事奉的偉大目標反倒是引領人對律法作更純淨、更屬靈、更完全的遵行。
