 13:2
 13:3
13:2 [This is what you must do] when a prophet or a person who has visions in a dream arises among you. He may present you with a sign or miracle,
Ki-yakum bekirbecha navi o cholem chalom venatan eleycha ot o mofet.
13:3 and on the basis of that sign or miracle, say to you, 'Let us try out a different god. Let us serve it and have a new spiritual experience.'
Uva ha'ot vehamofet asher-diber eleycha lemor nelechah acharey elohim acherim asher lo-yedatam vena'ovdem.
