17YOU SHALL not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or sheep with a blemish or any defect whatsoever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God.H2076H3068H430H7794H7716H3971H7451H1697H8441H3068H4302If there is found among you within any of your towns which the Lord your God gives you a man or woman who does what is wicked in the sight of the Lord your God by transgressing His covenant,H4672H7130H259H8179H3068H430H5414H376H802H6213H7451H5869H3068H430H5674H12853Who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or moon or any of the host of the heavens, which I have forbidden,H3212H5647H312H430H7812H8121H3394H6635H8064H66804And it is told and you hear of it, then inquire diligently. And if it is certainly true that such an abomination has been committed in Israel,H5046H8085H1875H3190H571H1697H3559H8441H6213H34785Then you shall bring forth to your town's gates that man or woman who has done that wicked thing and you shall stone that man or woman to death.H3318H376H802H6213H7451H1697H8179H376H802H5619H68H41916On the evidence of two or three witnesses he who is worthy of death shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness.H6310H8147H5707H7969H5707H4191H4191H6310H259H5707H41917The hands of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from among you.H3027H5707H7223H4191H314H3027H5971H1197H7451H1197H71308If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment--between one kind of bloodshed and another, between one legality and another, between one kind of assault and another, matters of controversy within your towns--then arise and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses.H1697H6381H4941H1818H1818H1779H1779H5061H5061H1697H7379H8179H6965H5927H4725H3068H430H9779And you shall come to the Levitical priests and to the judge who is in office in those days, and you shall consult them and they shall make clear to you the decision.H935H3548H3881H8199H3117H1875H5046H1697H494110And you shall do according to the decision which they declare to you from that place which the Lord chooses; and you shall be watchful to do according to all that they tell you;H6213H6310H1697H4725H3068H977H5046H8104H6213H338411According to the decision of the law which they shall teach you and the judgment which they shall announce to you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the verdict they give you, either to the right hand or the left.H6310H8451H3384H4941H559H6213H5493H1697H5046H3225H804012The man who does presumptuously and will not listen to the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God or to the judge, that man shall die; so you shall purge the evil from Israel.H376H6213H2087H8085H3548H5975H8334H3068H430H8199H376H4191H1197H7451H347813And all the people shall hear and [reverently] fear, and not act presumptuously again.H5971H8085H3372H210214When you come to the land which the Lord your God gives you and you possess it and live there, and then say, We will set a king over us like all the nations that are about us,H935H776H3068H430H5414H3423H3427H559H7760H4428H1471H543915You shall surely set as king over you him whom the Lord your God will choose. One from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner, who is not your brother, over you.H7760H7760H4428H3068H430H977H7130H251H7760H4428H3201H5414H5237H376H25116But he shall not multiply horses to himself or cause the people to return to Egypt in order to multiply horses, since the Lord said to you, You shall never return that way.H7235H5483H5971H7725H4714H7235H5483H3068H559H3254H7725H187017And he shall not multiply wives to himself, that his [mind and] heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.H7235H802H3824H5493H3966H7235H3701H209118And when he sits on his royal throne, he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, out of what is before the Levitical priests.H3427H3678H4467H3789H4932H8451H5612H6440H3548H388119And he shall keep it with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn [reverently] to fear the Lord his God, by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes and doing them,H7121H3117H2416H3925H3372H3068H430H8104H1697H8451H2706H621320That his [mind and] heart may not be lifted up above his brethren and that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left; so that he may continue long, he and his sons, in his kingdom in Israel.H3824H7311H251H5493H4687H3225H8040H748H3117H4467H1121H7130H3478
