Deuteronomy 17:2

Deuteronomy 17:2 -

In Deuteronomy 13:1-18 , Moses enacts what is to be done to those who seduce into idolatry. Here he declares what is to be done to those who are so seduced. Done wickedness ; literally, done the evil . The definite article is prefixed; it is not any kind of wickedness that is here denounced, but the special sin of idolatry, the wickedness κατ ἐξόχην . All idolatry was to be strictly suppressed—those convicted of it to be put to death by stoning.
