King James 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
the LORD thy
God any bullock,
or sheep
, wherein
is
blemish,
or
any
evilfavouredness:
for that is an
abomination
unto
the LORD 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
among you ,
within
any
of thy
gates
which
the LORD thy
God giveth
thee,
man
or
woman,
that
hath
wrought
wickedness
in the sight of the LORD 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 ,
either
the sun ,
or 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, and
inquired
diligently,
and,
behold,
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 ,
which
have
committed
that
wicked
thing, unto
thy
gates,
even
that
man
or
that
woman,
and shalt
stone them
with
stones,
till
they
die
.
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
worthy
of
death
be put to death ;
but 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 hands of the witnesses shall be first upon
him to put
him
to
death, and afterward
the hands of all the people. So thou
shalt
put
the evil away
from among you.
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 into
the place which
the LORD 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 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 sentence,
which
they of
that
place which
the LORD shall
choose shall
show
thee;
and
thou
shalt
observe
to do according
to
all
that
they inform
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 sentence
of the
law which
they shall
teach
thee,
and according
to
the judgment
which
they shall
tell
thee,
thou
shalt
do :
thou
shalt
not decline
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
will
do
presumptuously, and
will
not
hearken
unto
the priest that
standeth
to minister
there
before
the LORD 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
the LORD thy
God giveth
thee,
and shalt
possess
it ,
and shalt
dwell
therein
, and shalt
say, I
will
set a king over me,
like as
all the nations that
are
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
in
any
wise
set
him
king over
thee,
whom the LORD thy
God shall choose :
one
from among thy
brethren
shalt
thou
set king
over thee:
thou
mayest
not
set
a stranger
over
thee,
which
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
. ’
But he
shall
not multiply
horses to
himself ,
nor
cause
the people to return
to
Egypt ,
to the
end
that
he
should
multiply
horses :
forasmuch
as
the LORD 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 the LORD 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.
