American Standard Version
You
shall
not sacrifice to
the
LORD
your
God an ox or a sheep with
any
defect
or
serious
flaw
, for that is detestable
to
the
LORD
your
God.
Thou
shalt
not sacrifice unto
Jehovah
thy
God an ox ,
or a sheep, wherein
is
a
blemish,
`or'
anything
evil;
for that is an
abomination
unto
Jehovah
thy
God.
If a
man or woman among
you
in
one
of
the
towns
that the
LORD
your
God
gives
you
is found
doing
evil in the sight of the
LORD
your
God by
transgressing His covenant
If there
be
found
in
the
midst
of
thee,
within
any
of
thy
gates
which
Jehovah
thy
God
giveth
thee,
man or woman ,
that doeth
that
which
is evil in the sight of Jehovah
thy
God ,
in
transgressing his covenant ,
and going
to
worship
other gods, bowing
down
to
them or to
the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven —
which I have forbidden—
and hath
gone
and
served
other gods, and
worshipped
them ,
or the sun ,
or the
moon ,
or any of the host of heaven ,
which I have not
commanded;
and if
it is
reported
and you
hear
about
it, you
must
investigate
it
thoroughly.
If the
report
is
true and such an
abomination has
happened
in Israel,
and it be
told
thee,
and thou
hast
heard
of
it, then
shalt
thou
inquire
diligently;
and,
behold,
if it
be
true ,
and the
thing
certain,
that
such abomination is
wrought
in Israel,
you
must
bring out
to
your
gates
the
man or woman who has
done this evil thing, and you
must
stone that
person
to death.
then
shalt
thou
bring forth
that
man or that
woman ,
who hath
done this evil thing, unto
thy
gates,
even
the
man
or
the
woman;
and thou
shalt
stone them
to death with
stones
.
On
the testimony
of two or three witnesses a
man
shall be put to death ,
but
he shall not be executed
on
the
testimony
of
a
lone
witness
.
At
the mouth
of two witnesses,
or three witnesses ,
shall he
that
is
to
die
be put to death ;
at
the
mouth
of
one
witness
he shall not be put
to
death
.
The hands
of the witnesses shall be the
first in
putting
him to death, and after
that,
the hands
of all the people. So you
must
purge
the evil from among
you
.
The hand
of the witnesses shall be first upon
him to put
him
to
death, and afterward
the hand
of all the people. So thou
shalt
put
away
the evil from the
midst
of
thee
.
If a case
is
too difficult
for you
to
judge
, whether
the
controversy within your
gates is
regarding
bloodshed,
lawsuits,
or
assaults
, you
must
go
up to
the place the
LORD
your
God will
choose .
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 unto
the place which
Jehovah
thy
God shall
choose ;
You
are
to
go
to
the Levitical
priests and to
the judge who
presides
at
that time.
Inquire of
them,
and they will
give
you
a
verdict
in
the case
.
and
thou
shalt
come
unto
the priests the
Levites,
and unto
the judge that shall
be
in
those
days:
and
thou
shalt
inquire ;
and they shall
show
thee
the sentence
of
judgment
.
You
must
abide
by
the verdict
they
give
you
at
the place the
LORD
will
choose .
Be
careful
to do everything
they instruct
you,
And
thou
shalt
do
according
to
the tenor
of
the sentence
which
they
shall
show
thee
from
that
place which
Jehovah
shall
choose ;
and
thou
shalt
observe
to do according
to
all
that
they shall
teach
thee:
according to the terms
of law they give
and the verdict
they proclaim.
Do not turn aside to the right or
to the left from
the
decision
they
declare
to
you
.
according to the tenor
of the
law which
they shall
teach
thee,
and according
to
the judgment
which
they shall
tell
thee,
thou
shalt
do ;
thou
shalt
not turn aside from
the
sentence
which
they
shall
show
thee,
to the right hand,
nor
to the left.
But
the man who
acts
presumptuously, refusing
to
listen
either
to
the priest who
stands
there
to serve
the
LORD
your
God, or to
the judge, must
be
put to
death.
You
must
purge
the evil from Israel.
And
the man that
doeth
presumptuously, in
not
hearkening
unto
the priest that
standeth
to minister
there
before
Jehovah
thy
God, or unto
the judge, even
that
man
shall
die:
and
thou
shalt
put away
the evil from Israel.
Then
all the people will
hear and be
afraid
, and will
no longer
behave
arrogantly
.
And
all the people shall
hear ,
and fear
, and do
no more
presumptuously
.
When you
enter
the land that
the
LORD
your
God is
giving
you
and have
taken
possession
of
it and settled
in
it
, and you
say, “Let
us
set a king over us
like all the nations around
us,”
When thou
art
come
unto
the land which
Jehovah
thy
God giveth
thee,
and shalt
possess
it ,
and shalt
dwell
therein
, and shalt
say, I
will
set a king over me,
like all the nations that
are
round
about
me;
you
are
to
appoint
over
yourselves
the
king whom the
LORD
your
God shall choose .
Appoint
a
king
from among your
brothers;
you
are
not
to
set over yourselves
a foreigner who is not one
of
your
brothers
.
thou
shalt
surely
set
him
king over
thee,
whom Jehovah
thy
God shall choose :
one
from among thy
brethren
shalt
thou
set king
over thee;
thou
mayest
not
put
a foreigner over
thee,
who is not thy
brother
.
But
the
king
must
not acquire
many
horses for
himself or
send
the people back
to Egypt
to acquire
more
horses
, for
the LORD
has
said ,
‘
You are
never
to
go
back
that way again
. ’
Only
he
shall
not multiply
horses to
himself ,
nor
cause
the people to return
to Egypt
, to
the end
that
he
may
multiply
horses;
forasmuch
as
Jehovah
hath
said unto
you ,
Ye
shall
henceforth
return
no
more
that way.
He must
not
take
many
wives for
himself, lest
his heart go
astray.
He
must
not accumulate
for
himself large
amounts
of
silver and gold.
Neither
shall
he multiply
wives to
himself, that
his heart turn
not away:
neither
shall
he
greatly
multiply
to
himself silver and gold.
When he is
seated
on
his
royal
throne, he must
write for
himself
a copy of this instruction
on
a
scroll
in the
presence
of the Levitical
priests .
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:
It is
to
remain
with him, and he is
to
read from
it
all the days of his life ,
so
that he may learn to fear the
LORD
his God by
carefully
observing
all the words of this instruction
and these statutes .
and
it shall
be
with him, and he shall
read therein
all the days of his life ;
that he may learn to fear Jehovah
his God ,
to
keep
all the words of this law
and these statutes ,
to
do
them;
Then
his heart will
not
be exalted
above his countrymen
, and he will
not
turn aside from the commandment, to the right or to the left ,
in
order
that he and
his
sons
may reign
many
years
over
his kingdom in Israel.
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.
