Deuteronomy 18:9-14 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. ¹⁰ Let there not be found among you any one who purifieth his son, or his daughter, with fire; or who practiseth divinations, or consulteth omens, or augury, ¹¹ or maketh use of drugs to practise incantation, or a belly speaker, or an astrologer, or a necromancer; ¹² for every one who practiseth such things is an abomination to the Lord thy God; for, because of these abominations, the Lord will root them out from before you. ¹³ Thou shalt be complete in the sight of the Lord thy God. ¹⁴ For these nations which thou art about to possess will hearken to enchanters and diviners; but the Lord thy God hath not permitted thee to do so.
