Deuteronomy 13:11
9 Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.
10 Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.
12 If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said
13 that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known),
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
