Deuteronomy 13:6-18

6 aIf your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or bthe wife you embrace
Hebrew  the wife of your bosom
or your friend dwho is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ ewhich neither you nor your fathers have known,
7some fof the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, 8you shall gnot yield to him or listen to him, nor hshall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him. 9But you shall kill him. iYour hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 10 jYou shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 11And kall Israel shall hear and fear and never again do any such wickedness as this among you.

12If you hear in one of your cities, which the Lord your God is giving you to dwell there, 13that certain lworthless fellows have gone out among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which you have not known, 14then you shall inquire and make search and ask mdiligently. And behold, if it be true and certain that such an abomination has been done among you, 15you shall surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword, devoting it to destruction,
That is, setting apart ( devoting) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)
all who are in it and its cattle, with the edge of the sword.
16You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its open square and oburn the city and all its spoil with fire, as a whole burnt offering to the Lord your God. It shall be a pheap forever. It shall not be built again. 17 qNone of the devoted things shall stick to your hand, rthat the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy and have compassion on you and multiply you, sas he swore to your fathers, 18if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, tkeeping all his commandments that I am commanding you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 17:5

5then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you ushall stone that man or woman to death with stones.

Deuteronomy 29:18

18Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you va root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit,
