DEUTERONOMY 13:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
“But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.”
Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery — the death method (stoning) ensures communal participation; the crime (turning from covenant) is redefined as rebellion against the God of the exodus.
