And you shall be careful to do according to all that they direct you.H6213H6310H1697H4725H3068H977H5046H8104H6213H3384 11According to the instructions that they give you, and according to the decision which they pronounce to you, you shall do. You shall not turn aside from the verdict that they declare to you, either to the right hand or to the left.H6310H8451H3384H4941H559H6213H5493H1697H5046H3225H8040 12The man who acts presumptuously by not obeying the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.H376H6213H2087H8085H3548H5975H8334H3068H430H8199H376H4191H1197H7451H3478 13And all the people shall hear and fear and not act presumptuously again.H5971H8085H3372H2102 14"When you come to the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and you possess it and dwell in it and then say, 'I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,'H935H776H3068H430H5414H3423H3427H559H7760H4428H1471H5439 15you may indeed set a king over you whom the LORD your God will choose. One from among your brothers you shall set as king over you. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.H7760H7760H4428H3068H430H977H7130H251H7760H4428H3201H5414H5237H376H251 16Only he must not acquire many horses for himself or cause the people to return to Egypt in order to acquire many horses, since the LORD has said to you, 'You shall never return that way again.'H7235H5483H5971H7725H4714H7235H5483H3068H559H3254H7725H1870 17And he shall not acquire many wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor shall he acquire for himself excessive silver and gold.H7235H802H3824H5493H3966H7235H3701H2091 18"And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, approved by the Levitical priests.H3427H3678H4467H3789H4932H8451H5612H6440H3548H3881 19And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them,H7121H3117H2416H3925H3372H3068H430H8104H1697H8451H2706H6213 20that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, either to the right hand or to the left, so that he may continue long in his kingdom, he and his children, in Israel.H3824H7311H251H5493H4687H3225H8040H748H3117H4467H1121H7130H3478
