1Thou shalt not sacrifice <02076> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> [any] bullock <07794>_, or sheep <07716>_, wherein is blemish <03971>_, [or] any evilfavouredness <07451> <01697>_: for that [is] an abomination <08441> unto the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>_. {sheep: or, goat}
2If there be found <04672> (8735) among <07130> you, within any <0259> of thy gates <08179> which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee, man <0376> or woman <0802>_, that hath wrought <06213> (8799) wickedness <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>_, in transgressing <05674> (8800) his covenant <01285>_,
3And hath gone <03212> (8799) and served <05647> (8799) other <0312> gods <0430>_, and worshipped <07812> (8691) them, either the sun <08121>_, or moon <03394>_, or any of the host <06635> of heaven <08064>_, which I have not commanded <06680> (8765)_;
4And it be told <05046> (8717) thee, and thou hast heard <08085> (8804) [of it], and enquired <01875> (8804) diligently <03190> (8687)_, and, behold, [it be] true <0571>_, [and] the thing <01697> certain <03559> (8737)_, [that] such abomination <08441> is wrought <06213> (8738) in Israel <03478>_:
5Then shalt thou bring forth <03318> (8689) that man <0376> or that woman <0802>_, which have committed <06213> (8804) that wicked <07451> thing <01697>_, unto thy gates <08179>_, [even] that man <0376> or that woman <0802>_, and shalt stone <05619> (8804) them with stones <068>_, till they die <04191> (8804)_.
6At the mouth <06310> of two <08147> witnesses <05707>_, or three <07969> witnesses <05707>_, shall he that is worthy of death <04191> (8714) be put to death <04191> (8801)_; [but] at the mouth <06310> of one <0259> witness <05707> he shall not be put to death <04191> (8714)_.
7The hands <03027> of the witnesses <05707> shall be first <07223> upon him to put him to death <04191> (8687)_, and afterward <0314> the hands <03027> of all the people <05971>_. So thou shalt put <01197> (0) the evil <07451> away <01197> (8765) from among <07130> you.
8If there arise a matter <01697> too hard <06381> (8735) for thee in judgment <04941>_, between blood <01818> and blood <01818>_, between plea <01779> and plea <01779>_, and between stroke <05061> and stroke <05061>_, [being] matters <01697> of controversy <07379> within thy gates <08179>_: then shalt thou arise <06965> (8804)_, and get thee up <05927> (8804) into the place <04725> which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> shall choose <0977> (8799)_;
9And thou shalt come <0935> (8804) unto the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>_, and unto the judge <08199> (8802) that shall be in those days <03117>_, and enquire <01875> (8804)_; and they shall shew <05046> (8689) thee the sentence <01697> of judgment <04941>_:
10And thou shalt do <06213> (8804) according to the sentence <06310> <01697>_, which they of that place <04725> which the LORD <03068> shall choose <0977> (8799) shall shew <05046> (8686) thee; and thou shalt observe <08104> (8804) to do <06213> (8800) according to all that they inform <03384> (8686) thee:
11According to the sentence <06310> of the law <08451> which they shall teach <03384> (8686) thee, and according to the judgment <04941> which they shall tell <0559> (8799) thee, thou shalt do <06213> (8799)_: thou shalt not decline <05493> (8799) from the sentence <01697> which they shall shew <05046> (8686) thee, [to] the right hand <03225>_, nor [to] the left <08040>_.
12And the man <0376> that will do <06213> (8799) presumptuously <02087>_, and will not hearken <08085> (8800) unto the priest <03548> that standeth <05975> (8802) to minister <08334> (8763) there before the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>_, or unto the judge <08199> (8802)_, even that man <0376> shall die <04191> (8804)_: and thou shalt put away <01197> (8765) the evil <07451> from Israel <03478>_. {and will...: Heb. not to hearken}
13And all the people <05971> shall hear <08085> (8799)_, and fear <03372> (8799)_, and do no more presumptuously <02102> (8686)_.
14When thou art come <0935> (8799) unto the land <0776> which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee, and shalt possess <03423> (8804) it, and shalt dwell <03427> (8804) therein, and shalt say <0559> (8804)_, I will set <07760> (8799) a king <04428> over me, like as all the nations <01471> that [are] about <05439> me;
15Thou shalt in any wise <07760> (8800) set <07760> (8799) [him] king <04428> over thee, whom the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> shall choose <0977> (8799)_: [one] from among <07130> thy brethren <0251> shalt thou set <07760> (8799) king <04428> over thee: thou mayest <03201> (8799) not set <05414> (8800) a stranger <05237> <0376> over thee, which [is] not thy brother <0251>_.
16But he shall not multiply <07235> (8686) horses <05483> to himself, nor cause the people <05971> to return <07725> (8686) to Egypt <04714>_, to the end that he should multiply <07235> (8687) horses <05483>_: forasmuch as the LORD <03068> hath said <0559> (8804) unto you, Ye shall henceforth <03254> (8686) return <07725> (8800) no more that way <01870>_.
17Neither shall he multiply <07235> (8686) wives <0802> to himself, that his heart <03824> turn <05493> (8799) not away: neither shall he greatly <03966> multiply <07235> (8686) to himself silver <03701> and gold <02091>_.
18And it shall be, when he sitteth <03427> (8800) upon the throne <03678> of his kingdom <04467>_, that he shall write <03789> (8804) him a copy <04932> of this law <08451> in a book <05612> out of [that which is] before <06440> the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>_:
19And it shall be with him, and he shall read <07121> (8804) therein all the days <03117> of his life <02416>_: that he may learn <03925> (8799) to fear <03372> (8800) the LORD <03068> his God <0430>_, to keep <08104> (8800) all the words <01697> of this law <08451> and these statutes <02706>_, to do <06213> (8800) them:
20That his heart <03824> be not lifted up <07311> (8800) above his brethren <0251>_, and that he turn not aside <05493> (8800) from the commandment <04687>_, [to] the right hand <03225>_, or [to] the left <08040>_: to the end that he may prolong <0748> (8686) [his] days <03117> in his kingdom <04467>_, he, and his children <01121>_, in the midst <07130> of Israel <03478>_.
