Deuteronomy 13:5 meaning and explanation
Such a prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he has advocated rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God has commanded you to walk. So you must purge the evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 13:5, Berean Standard Bible

Moses is speaking to Israel on the plains of Moab, preparing a people who had not seen Egypt to live faithfully in the land. Verses 1 to 4 describe a prophet whose sign comes true but who urges worship of other gods; the wonder is a test, not a credential.
