Berean Standard Bible
You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh
your God an ox ,
or a sheep ,
in
which
is
a
blemish,
[
or ]
anything
evil;
for that is an
abomination
to Yahweh
your God.
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.
If there
be
found
in
the
midst
of
you ,
within
any
of your
gates
which
Yahweh
your God gives you ,
man
or
woman,
who
does
that
which
is evil in the sight of Yahweh
your God ,
in
transgressing his covenant ,
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
and has
gone
and
served
other gods, and
worshiped
them ,
or the sun ,
or the
moon ,
or any of the host of the
sky,
which I have not
commanded;
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 it be
told
you,
and you have
heard
of
it, then
shall
you inquire
diligently;
and,
behold,
if
it be
true ,
and the
thing
certain,
that
such abomination is
done
in Israel,
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,
then
shall
you bring forth
that
man or that
woman ,
who has done this evil thing, to
your
gates,
even
the
man
or
the
woman;
and you shall
stone them
to death with
stones
.
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.
At
the mouth
of two witnesses,
or three witnesses ,
shall he
who
is
to
die
be put to death ;
at
the
mouth
of
one
witness
he shall not be put
to
death
.
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
.
The hand
of the witnesses shall be first on
him
to
put
him to death, and afterward
the hand
of all the people. So you shall
put
away
the evil from the
midst
of
you.
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.
If there
arise
a matter
too hard
for you in
judgment,
between
blood
and
blood,
between
plea
and
plea,
and
between
stroke
and
stroke
, being
matters
of
controversy within your gates ;
then
shall
you
arise
, and
go up to the place which
Yahweh
your God shall
choose ;
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 .
and
you shall
come
to the priests the
Levites,
and to the judge who shall
be
in
those
days:
and
you
shall
inquire ;
and they shall
show
you the sentence
of
judgment
.
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
.
You shall
do
according
to
the
tenor
of
the sentence
which
they shall
show
you from
that
place which
Yahweh
shall
choose ;
and
you
shall
observe
to do according
to
all
that
they shall
teach
you :
You must
abide
by
the verdict
they give
you at
the
place the
LORD
will
choose .
Be
careful
to do everything
they instruct
you ,
according to the tenor
of the
law which
they shall
teach
you,
and according
to
the judgment
which
they shall
tell
you,
you
shall
do ;
you
shall
not turn aside from
the
sentence
which
they
shall
show
you,
to the right hand,
nor
to the left.
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
.
The man who does
presumptuously, in
not
listening
to the priest who stands to
minister
there before
Yahweh
your God, or to the judge, even
that
man
shall
die:
and
you
shall
put away
the evil from Israel.
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.
All the people shall
hear ,
and fear
, and do
no more
presumptuously
.
Then
all the people will
hear and be
afraid
, and will
no longer
behave
arrogantly
.
When you are
come
to
the land which
Yahweh
your God gives
you ,
and shall
possess
it ,
and shall
dwell
therein
, and shall
say, I
will
set a king over me,
like all the nations that
are
round
about
me;
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,”
you shall
surely
set
him
king
over you,
whom Yahweh
your God shall choose :
one
from among your brothers shall
you
set
king
over
you
; you may
not put
a foreigner over
you,
who is not your brother
.
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
.
Only
he
shall
not multiply
horses to
himself ,
nor
cause
the people to
return
to Egypt ,
to the
end
that
he
may
multiply
horses ;
because
Yahweh
has said to
you
, You shall
henceforth
return
no
more
that way.
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
. ’
Neither
shall
he multiply
wives to
himself, that
his heart not
turn
away:
neither
shall
he greatly
multiply
to
himself silver and gold.
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.
It
shall
be,
when he sits
on 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:
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
with him, and he shall
read therein
all the days of his life ;
that he may learn to fear Yahweh
his God ,
to
keep
all the words of this law
and these statutes ,
to
do
them;
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 .
that
his heart not be lifted
up
above his brothers
, and that
he not turn 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.
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.
