1 Thou shalt not sacrifice{H2076}{(H8799)} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} any bullock{H7794}, or sheep{H7716}, wherein is blemish{H3971}, or any evilfavouredness{H7451}{H1697}: for that is an abomination{H8441} unto the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}.

2 If there be found{H4672}{(H8735)} among{H7130} you, within any{H259} of thy gates{H8179} which the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} giveth{H5414}{(H8802)} thee, man{H376} or woman{H802}, that hath wrought{H6213}{(H8799)} wickedness{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, in transgressing{H5674}{(H8800)} his covenant{H1285},

3 And hath gone{H3212}{(H8799)} and served{H5647}{(H8799)} other{H312} gods{H430}, and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)} them, either the sun{H8121}, or moon{H3394}, or any of the host{H6635} of heaven{H8064}, which I have not commanded{H6680}{(H8765)};

4 And it be told{H5046}{(H8717)} thee, and thou hast heard{H8085}{(H8804)} of it, and enquired{H1875}{(H8804)} diligently{H3190}{(H8687)}, and, behold, it be true{H571}, and the thing{H1697} certain{H3559}{(H8737)}, that such abomination{H8441} is wrought{H6213}{(H8738)} in Israel{H3478}:

5 Then shalt thou bring forth{H3318}{(H8689)} that man{H376} or that woman{H802}, which have committed{H6213}{(H8804)} that wicked{H7451} thing{H1697}, unto thy gates{H8179}, even that man{H376} or that woman{H802}, and shalt stone{H5619}{(H8804)} them with stones{H68}, till they die{H4191}{(H8804)}.

6 At the mouth{H6310} of two{H8147} witnesses{H5707}, or three{H7969} witnesses{H5707}, shall he that is worthy of death{H4191}{(H8714)} be put to death{H4191}{(H8801)}; but at the mouth{H6310} of one{H259} witness{H5707} he shall not be put to death{H4191}{(H8714)}.

7 The hands{H3027} of the witnesses{H5707} shall be first{H7223} upon him to put him to death{H4191}{(H8687)}, and afterward{H314} the hands{H3027} of all the people{H5971}. So thou shalt put{H1197} the evil{H7451} away{H1197}{(H8765)} from among{H7130} you.

8 If there arise a matter{H1697} too hard{H6381}{(H8735)} for thee in judgment{H4941}, between blood{H1818} and blood{H1818}, between plea{H1779} and plea{H1779}, and between stroke{H5061} and stroke{H5061}, being matters{H1697} of controversy{H7379} within thy gates{H8179}: then shalt thou arise{H6965}{(H8804)}, and get thee up{H5927}{(H8804)} into the place{H4725} which the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} shall choose{H977}{(H8799)};

9 And thou shalt come{H935}{(H8804)} unto the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881}, and unto the judge{H8199}{(H8802)} that shall be in those days{H3117}, and enquire{H1875}{(H8804)}; and they shall shew{H5046}{(H8689)} thee the sentence{H1697} of judgment{H4941}:

10 And thou shalt do{H6213}{(H8804)} according to the sentence{H6310}{H1697}, which they of that place{H4725} which the LORD{H3068} shall choose{H977}{(H8799)} shall shew{H5046}{(H8686)} thee; and thou shalt observe{H8104}{(H8804)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)} according to all that they inform{H3384}{(H8686)} thee:

11 According to the sentence{H6310} of the law{H8451} which they shall teach{H3384}{(H8686)} thee, and according to the judgment{H4941} which they shall tell{H559}{(H8799)} thee, thou shalt do{H6213}{(H8799)}: thou shalt not decline{H5493}{(H8799)} from the sentence{H1697} which they shall shew{H5046}{(H8686)} thee, to the right hand{H3225}, nor to the left{H8040}.

12 And the man{H376} that will do{H6213}{(H8799)} presumptuously{H2087}, and will not hearken{H8085}{(H8800)} unto the priest{H3548} that standeth{H5975}{(H8802)} to minister{H8334}{(H8763)} there before the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, or unto the judge{H8199}{(H8802)}, even that man{H376} shall die{H4191}{(H8804)}: and thou shalt put away{H1197}{(H8765)} the evil{H7451} from Israel{H3478}.

13 And all the people{H5971} shall hear{H8085}{(H8799)}, and fear{H3372}{(H8799)}, and do no more presumptuously{H2102}{(H8686)}.

14 When thou art come{H935}{(H8799)} unto the land{H776} which the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} giveth{H5414}{(H8802)} thee, and shalt possess{H3423}{(H8804)} it, and shalt dwell{H3427}{(H8804)} therein, and shalt say{H559}{(H8804)}, I will set{H7760}{(H8799)} a king{H4428} over me, like as all the nations{H1471} that are about{H5439} me;

15 Thou shalt in any wise{H7760}{(H8800)} set{H7760}{(H8799)} him king{H4428} over thee, whom the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} shall choose{H977}{(H8799)}: one from among{H7130} thy brethren{H251} shalt thou set{H7760}{(H8799)} king{H4428} over thee: thou mayest{H3201}{(H8799)} not set{H5414}{(H8800)} a stranger{H5237}{H376} over thee, which is not thy brother{H251}.

16 But he shall not multiply{H7235}{(H8686)} horses{H5483} to himself, nor cause the people{H5971} to return{H7725}{(H8686)} to Egypt{H4714}, to the end that he should multiply{H7235}{(H8687)} horses{H5483}: forasmuch as the LORD{H3068} hath said{H559}{(H8804)} unto you, Ye shall henceforth{H3254}{(H8686)} return{H7725}{(H8800)} no more that way{H1870}.

17 Neither shall he multiply{H7235}{(H8686)} wives{H802} to himself, that his heart{H3824} turn{H5493}{(H8799)} not away: neither shall he greatly{H3966} multiply{H7235}{(H8686)} to himself silver{H3701} and gold{H2091}.

18 And it shall be, when he sitteth{H3427}{(H8800)} upon the throne{H3678} of his kingdom{H4467}, that he shall write{H3789}{(H8804)} him a copy{H4932} of this law{H8451} in a book{H5612} out of that which is before{H6440} the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881}:

19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read{H7121}{(H8804)} therein all the days{H3117} of his life{H2416}: that he may learn{H3925}{(H8799)} to fear{H3372}{(H8800)} the LORD{H3068} his God{H430}, to keep{H8104}{(H8800)} all the words{H1697} of this law{H8451} and these statutes{H2706}, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} them:

20 That his heart{H3824} be not lifted up{H7311}{(H8800)} above his brethren{H251}, and that he turn not aside{H5493}{(H8800)} from the commandment{H4687}, to the right hand{H3225}, or to the left{H8040}: to the end that he may prolong{H748}{(H8686)} his days{H3117} in his kingdom{H4467}, he, and his children{H1121}, in the midst{H7130} of Israel{H3478}.
