Verse 15 is found in chapter 13 of Deuteronomy. If an entire city abandons the Lord and follows other gods, Israel must carefully investigate the accusation before acting. If the idolatry is confirmed, the city must be destroyed as an act of judgment. The section combines a radical response to apostasy with a requirement for investigation and verification before carrying out the sentence.
