And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death because he hath spoken revolt against Yahweh your God,—who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt and redeemed thee out of the house of servants, to seduce thee out of the way wherein Yahweh thy God hath commanded thee to walk,—so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
