9 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, ^wyou shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone ^xwho burns his son or his daughter as an offering,¹ anyone who ^ypractices divination or ^ztells fortunes or interprets omens, or ^aa sorcerer 11 or a charmer or ^ba medium or a necromancer or ^cone who inquires of the dead, 12 ^dfor whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And ^ebecause of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, 14 for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.
