17:1 "You
shall
not
sacrifice
to
the
LORD
your
God
an
ox
or
a
sheep
in
which
is
a
blemish,
any
defect
whatever,
for
that
is
an
abomination
to
the
LORD
your
God.
17:2 "If
there
is
found
among
you,
within
any
of
your
towns
that
the
LORD
your
God
is
giving
you,
a
man
or
woman
who
does
what
is
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
your
God,
in
transgressing
his
covenant,
17:3 and
has
gone
and
served
other
gods
and
worshiped
them,
or
the
sun
or
the
moon
or
any
of
the
host
of
heaven,
which
I
have
forbidden,
17:4 and
it
is
told
you
and
you
hear
of
it,
then
you
shall
inquire
diligently,
and
if
it
is
true
and
certain
that
such
an
abomination
has
been
done
in
Israel,
17:5 then
you
shall
bring
out
to
your
gates
that
man
or
woman
who
has
done
this
evil
thing,
and
you
shall
stone
that
man
or
woman
to
death
with
stones.
17:6 On
the
evidence
of
two
witnesses
or
of
three
witnesses
the
one
who
is
to
die
shall
be
put
to
death;
a
person
shall
not
be
put
to
death
on
the
evidence
of
one
witness.
17:7 The
hand
of
the
witnesses
shall
be
first
against
him
to
put
him
to
death,
and
afterward
the
hand
of
all
the
people.
So
you
shall
purge
the
evil
from
your
midst.
17:8 "If
any
case
arises
requiring
decision
between
one
kind
of
homicide
and
another,
one
kind
of
legal
right
and
another,
or
one
kind
of
assault
and
another,
any
case
within
your
towns
that
is
too
difficult
for
you,
then
you
shall
arise
and
go
up
to
the
place
that
the
LORD
your
God
will
choose.
17:9 And
you
shall
come
to
the
Levitical
priests
and
to
the
judge
who
is
in
office
in
those
days,
and
you
shall
consult
them,
and
they
shall
declare
to
you
the
decision.
17:10 Then
you
shall
do
according
to
what
they
declare
to
you
from
that
place
that
the
LORD
will
choose.
And
you
shall
be
careful
to
do
according
to
all
that
they
direct
you.
17:11 According
to
the
instructions
that
they
give
you,
and
according
to
the
decision
which
they
pronounce
to
you,
you
shall
do.
You
shall
not
turn
aside
from
the
verdict
that
they
declare
to
you,
either
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left.
17:12 The
man
who
acts
presumptuously
by
not
obeying
the
priest
who
stands
to
minister
there
before
the
LORD
your
God,
or
the
judge,
that
man
shall
die.
So
you
shall
purge
the
evil
from
Israel.
17:13 And
all
the
people
shall
hear
and
fear
and
not
act
presumptuously
again.
17:14 "When
you
come
to
the
land
that
the
LORD
your
God
is
giving
you,
and
you
possess
it
and
dwell
in
it
and
then
say,
'I
will
set
a
king
over
me,
like
all
the
nations
that
are
around
me,'
17:15 you
may
indeed
set
a
king
over
you
whom
the
LORD
your
God
will
choose.
One
from
among
your
brothers
you
shall
set
as
king
over
you.
You
may
not
put
a
foreigner
over
you,
who
is
not
your
brother.
17:16 Only
he
must
not
acquire
many
horses
for
himself
or
cause
the
people
to
return
to
Egypt
in
order
to
acquire
many
horses,
since
the
LORD
has
said
to
you,
'You
shall
never
return
that
way
again.'
17:17 And
he
shall
not
acquire
many
wives
for
himself,
lest
his
heart
turn
away,
nor
shall
he
acquire
for
himself
excessive
silver
and
gold.
17:18 "And
when
he
sits
on
the
throne
of
his
kingdom,
he
shall
write
for
himself
in
a
book
a
copy
of
this
law,
approved
by
the
Levitical
priests.
17:19 And
it
shall
be
with
him,
and
he
shall
read
in
it
all
the
days
of
his
life,
that
he
may
learn
to
fear
the
LORD
his
God
by
keeping
all
the
words
of
this
law
and
these
statutes,
and
doing
them,
17:20 that
his
heart
may
not
be
lifted
up
above
his
brothers,
and
that
he
may
not
turn
aside
from
the
commandment,
either
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left,
so
that
he
may
continue
long
in
his
kingdom,
he
and
his
children,
in
Israel.
