Dual Panel1"You shall not sacrifice<2076> to the LORD<3068> your God<430> an ox<7794> or a sheep<7716> which<834> has<1961> a blemish<4140> or any<3605> defect<1697><7451>, for that is a detestable<8441> thing<8441> to the LORD<3068> your God<430>.
2"If<3588> there is found<4672> in your midst<7130>, in any<259> of your towns<8179>, which<834> the LORD<3068> your God<430> is giving<5414> you, a man<376> or<176> a woman<802> who<834> does<6213> what<7451> is evil<7451> in the sight<5869> of the LORD<3068> your God<430>, by transgressing<5674> His covenant<1285>,
3and has gone<1980> and served<5647> other<312> gods<430> and worshiped<7812> them, or the sun<8121> or<176> the moon<3394> or<176> any<3605> of the heavenly<8064> host<6635>, which<834> I have not commanded<6680>,
4and if it is told<5046> you and you have heard<8085> of it, then you shall inquire<1875> thoroughly<3190>. Behold<2009>, if it is true<571> and the thing<1697> certain<3559> that this<2088> detestable<8441> thing<8441> has been done<6213> in Israel<3478>,
5then you shall bring<3318> out that man<376> or<176> that woman<802> who<834> has done<6213> this<2088> evil<7451> deed<1697> to your gates<8179>, that is, the man<376> or<176> the woman<802>, and you shall stone<5619> them to death<4191>.
6"On the evidence<6310> of two<8147> witnesses<5707> or<176> three<7969> witnesses<5707>, he who is to die<4191> shall be put<4191> to death<4191>; he shall not be put<4191> to death<4191> on the evidence<6310> of one<259> witness<5707>.
7"The hand<3027> of the witnesses<5707> shall be first<7223> against him to put<4191> him to death<4191>, and afterward<314> the hand<3027> of all<3605> the people<5971>. So you shall purge<1197> the evil<7451> from your midst<7130>.
8"If<3588> any case<1697> is too<4480> difficult<6381> for you to decide<4941>, between<996> one kind of homicide<1818> or another<1818>, between<996> one kind of lawsuit<1779> or another<1779>, and between<996> one kind of assault<5061> or another<5061>, being cases<1697> of dispute<7379> in your courts<8179>, then you shall arise<6965> and go<5927> up to the place<4725> which<834> the LORD<3068> your God<430> chooses<977>.
9"So you shall come<935> to the Levitical<3881> priest<3548> or the judge<8199> who<834> is in office in those<1992> days<3117>, and you shall inquire<1875> of them and they will declare<5046> to you the verdict<1697> in the case<4941>.
10"You shall do<6213> according<5921> to the terms<6310> of the verdict<1697> which<834> they declare<5046> to you from that place<4725> which<834> the LORD<3068> chooses<977>; and you shall be careful<8104> to observe<6213> according to all<3605> that they teach<3384> you.
11"According<5921> to the terms<6310> of the law<8451> which<834> they teach<3384> you, and according<5921> to the verdict<4941> which<834> they tell<5046> you, you shall do<6213>; you shall not turn<5493> aside<5493> from the word<1697> which<834> they declare<5046> to you, to the right<3225> or the left<8040>.
12"The man<376> who<834> acts<6213> presumptuously<2087> by not listening<8085> to the priest<3548> who stands<5975> there<8033> to serve<8334> the LORD<3068> your God<430>, nor<176> to the judge<8199>, that man<376> shall die<4191>; thus you shall purge<1197> the evil<7451> from Israel<3478>.
13"Then all<3605> the people<5971> will hear<8085> and be afraid<3372>, and will not act<2102> presumptuously<2102> again<5750>.
14"When<3588> you enter<935> the land<776> which<834> the LORD<3068> your God<430> gives<5414> you, and you possess<3423> it and live<3427> in it, and you say<559>, 'I will set<7760> a king<4428> over<5921> me like all<3605> the nations<1471> who<834> are around<5439> me,'
15you shall surely<7760> set<7760> a king<4428> over<5921> you whom<834> the LORD<3068> your God<430> chooses<977>, one from among<7130> your countrymen<251> you shall set<7760> as king<4428> over<5921> yourselves; you may<3201> not put<5414> a foreigner<5237> over<5921> yourselves who<834> is not your countryman<251>.
16"Moreover<7534>, he shall not multiply<7235> horses<5483> for himself, nor<3808> shall he cause the people<5971> to return<7725> to Egypt<4714> to multiply<7235> horses<5483>, since the LORD<3068> has said<559> to you, 'You shall never<3808> again<3254> return<7725> that way<1870>.'
17"He shall not multiply<7235> wives<802> for himself, or<3808> else<3808> his heart<3824> will turn<5493> away<5493>; nor<3808> shall he greatly<3966> increase<7235> silver<3701> and gold<2091> for himself.
18"Now it shall come<1961> about when he sits<3427> on the throne<3678> of his kingdom<4467>, he shall write<3789> for himself a copy<4932> of this<2088> law<8451> on a scroll<5612> in the presence<6440> of the Levitical<3881> priests<3548>.
19"It shall be with him and he shall read<7121> it all<3605> the days<3117> of his life<2425>, that he may learn<3925> to fear<3372> the LORD<3068> his God<430>, by carefully<6213> observing<6213> all<3605> the words<1697> of this<2088> law<8451> and these<428> statutes<2706>,
20that his heart<3824> may not be lifted<7311> up above<4480> his countrymen<251> and that he may not turn<5493> aside<5493> from the commandment<4687>, to the right<3225> or the left<8040>, so<4616> that he and his sons<1121> may continue<748> long<748><3117> in his kingdom<4467> in the midst<7130> of Israel<3478>.
