²⁶ ‘You shall not eat anything ^(A)with the blood nor interpret ^(B)omens or soothsaying.

¹⁰ There shall not be found among you anyone ^(A)who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one ^(B)who practices soothsaying or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer, ¹¹ or one who is an enchanter ^(C)or a medium or a spiritist or one who inquires of the dead. ¹² For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh; and ^(D)because of these abominations Yahweh your God will dispossess them from before you. ^13 (E)You shall be ^[a]blameless before Yahweh your God. ¹⁴ For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who ^(F)practice soothsaying and to diviners, but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you to do so.
