Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 You will not sacrifice to the LORD [Yahweh] your God [any] bullock, or sheep, in which is blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that [is] an abomination to the LORD [Yahweh] your God.
2 If there be found among you, within any of your gates which the LORD [Yahweh] your God gives you, man or woman, that has wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD [Yahweh] your God, in transgressing his covenant,
3 And has 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;
4 And it be told you, and you have heard [of it], and enquired diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:
5 Then will you bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, to your gates, [even] that man or that woman, and will stone them with stones, till they die.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, will he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he will not be put to death.
7 The hands of the witnesses will be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you will put the evil away from among you.
8 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 will you arise, and get you up into the place which the LORD [Yahweh] your God will choose;
9 And you will come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge that will be in those days, and enquire; and they will show you the sentence of judgment:
10 And you will do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD [Yahweh] will choose will show you; and you will observe to do according to all that they inform you:
11 According to the sentence of the law which they will teach you, and according to the judgment which they will tell you, you will do: you will not decline from the sentence which they will show you, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.
12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not listen to the priest that stands to minister there before the LORD [Yahweh] your God, or to the judge, even that man will die: and you will put away the evil from Israel.
13 And all the people will hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14 When you are come to the land which the LORD [Yahweh] your God gives you, and will possess it, and will dwell therein, and will say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
15 You will in any wise set [him] king over you, whom the LORD [Yahweh] your God will choose: [one] from among your brothers will you set king over you: you may not set a stranger over you, which [is] not your brother.
16 But he will 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 [Yahweh] has said to you, You will henceforth return no more that way.
17 Neither will he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither will he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 And it will be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he will write him a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests the Levites:
19 And it will be with him, and he will read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD [Yahweh] his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brothers, 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.
