신명기 13:3 할라카: Mishneh Torah, Repentance & Mishneh Torah, Foundations

Twenty-four different transgressions withhold the acceptance of repentance, four of these are of great iniquity, and whosoever commits one of them, the Holy One, blessed is He! provides no means for him to repent, measured, of course, with the monstrosity of his sin. They are: (1) he who leads the public to sin, by which is also included one who witholds the public from performing a commandment; (2) he who diverts his neighbor from the good path to an evil one, for instance, a seducer and an enticer; (3) he who beholds his son cultivating bad habits and does not protest against it, for, his son being under his control, probably, by having protested, he could have separated him therefrom, as a consequence whereof it is as if he himself led him to sin; by which is also included the iniquity of every one who has a possibility to protest against others, whether individuals or many, and does not protest against them but leaves them to their stumbling; (4) he who says: "I will sin and repent"; by which is also included one who says: "I will sin and the Day of Atonement will atone".

All these matters were said only concerning the rest of the commandments, but concerning idolatry he must not be listened to, even it be temporary, and even if he delivered great tokens and performed great miracles and said that God commanded him that idolatry should be worshipped this day only, or this hour only; for, lo, this one spoke perversion against God, and concerning such one Holy Writ commanded, saying: "And the sign and the wonder come to pass…Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet…Because he hath spoken perversion against the Lord your God" (Ibid. 13. 2.4.6); and, lo, he came to refute the prophecy of Moses, we therefore know of a certainty that he is a false prophet, and all that which he did was done by enchantment and witchcraft, and he shall be strangled.
