05:017:004 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard
of it, and enquired
diligently,
and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain,
that
such abomination is wrought in Israel:
05:017:005 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.
05:017:006 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.
05:017:007 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.
05:017:008 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;
05:017:009 And thou shalt come unto the priests the
Levites, and unto the
judge
that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they
shall
shew
thee the sentence of judgment:
05:017:010 And thou shalt do according to the sentence,
which they of
that
place which the lord shall choose shall shew thee;
and
thou
shalt observe to do according to all that they inform
thee:
05:017:011 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 shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the
left.
05:017:012 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.
05:017:013 And all the people shall hear, and fear,
and do no more
presumptuously.
05:017:014 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;
05:017:015 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.
