DE-17:1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God [any]
bullock, or
sheep, wherein is blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that
[is] an
abomination unto the LORD thy God.
DE-17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates
which the LORD
thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness
in the sight
of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
DE-17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped
them, either the
sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not
commanded;
DE-17:4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and
inquired
diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the thing certain,
[that] such
abomination is wrought in Israel:
DE-17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman,
which have
committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, [even] that man or
that woman,
and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
DE-17:6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses,
shall he that is
worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one
witness he shall
not be put to death.
DE-17:7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to
put him to
death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt
put the evil
away from among you.
DE-17:8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment,
between blood
and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke,
[being]
matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise,
and get thee
up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
DE-17:9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and
unto the judge
that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show
thee the
sentence of judgment:
DE-17:10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which
they of that
place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou
shalt observe to
do according to all that they inform thee:
DE-17:11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall
teach thee,
and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou
shalt do: thou
shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee,
[to] the right
hand, nor [to] the left.
DE-17:12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not
hearken unto
the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy
God, or unto
the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the
evil from
Israel.
DE-17:13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more
presumptuously.
DE-17:14 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy
God giveth thee,
and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I
will set a
king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
DE-17:15 Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom
the LORD thy
God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set
king over thee:
thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy
brother.
DE-17:16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause
the people to
return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses:
forasmuch as the
LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that
way.
DE-17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his
heart turn not
away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and
gold.
DE-17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of
his kingdom,
that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of
[that which is]
before the priests the Levites:
DE-17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein
all the days of
his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep
all the words of
this law and these statutes, to do them:
DE-17:20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren,
and that he turn
not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or [to] the
left: to the
end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his
children, in
the midst of Israel.
