non immolabis Domino Deo tuo bovem et ovem in quo estmacula aut quippiam vitii quia abominatio est Domini Dei tui

17:2
cum repperti fuerint apud te intra unam portarum tuarumquas Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi vir aut mulier qui faciantmalum in conspectu Domini Dei tui et transgrediantur pactumillius

17:3
ut vadant et serviant diis alienis et adorent eos solem etlunam et omnem militiam caeli quae non praecepi

17:4
et hoc tibi fuerit nuntiatum audiensque inquisierisdiligenter et verum esse reppereris et abominatio facta est inIsrahel

17:5

17:7
manus testium prima interficiet eum et manus reliqui populiextrema mittetur ut auferas malum de medio tui

17:8
si difficile et ambiguum apud te iudicium esse perspexerisinter sanguinem et sanguinem causam et causam lepram et nonlepram et iudicum intra portas tuas videris verba variari surgeet ascende ad locum quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus

17:9
veniesque ad sacerdotes levitici generis et ad iudicem quifuerit illo tempore quaeresque ab eis qui indicabunt tibiiudicii veritatem

17:10

017:001
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.

017:002
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,

017:003
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;

017:004
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:

017:005
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.

017:006
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.

017:007
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.

017:008
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;

017:009
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:

017:010
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:

017:011
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.

017:012
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.

017:013
And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

017:014
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;

017:015
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.

017:016
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.

017:017
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

017:018
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:

017:019
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:

017:020
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.
