In contextDeuteronomy 13:5

And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, for he has spoken rebellion against the LORD your God , who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, to draw you away from the way that the LORD your God commanded you to walk in. You shall purge the evil from your midst.
