Do not speak false prophecy in G-d’s Name.
This mitzvah forbids a person from delivering a message in Hashem’s Name that He did not command. Falsely attributing words to Hashem misleads the people and corrupts the sanctity of prophecy. The Torah equates this with the gravest offenses, because it undermines the foundation of Torah and Israel’s covenant with Hashem.
