You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God a sheep or an ox, in which there is a blemish, or any blemish: because it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

And when they shall be found among you within one of your gates, which the Lord your God shall give you, man or woman, who shall do evil in the sight of the Lord your God, and violate his covenant,

that they may go and observe other gods, and worship them, the sun and the moon, and all the host of the heavens, which I did not command

and this shall be told you, and you shall diligently investigate it, and discover it to be true, and there is an abomination in Israel:

you shall bring out the man and the woman who have committed this most evil act, to the gates of your city, and they shall be stoned to death.

By the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he perish who shall be put to death. Let no one be slain, by one witness speaking against him.

He shall put him to death at the first hand of the witnesses, and the hands of the rest of the people shall be cast into the end: to take away the evil from among you.

If you perceive that judgment is difficult and ambiguous among you, between blood and blood, case and case, and leprosy, and leprosy, and you see the words of judges within your gates vary: arise, and go up to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.

And you shall go to the priests of the Levites, and to the judge who was at that time; and you shall inquire of them, and they shall tell you the truth of the judgment.

And you shall do whatever they say to those who are over the place whom the Lord will choose, and they will teach you

according to his law, and you shall follow their decree, and shalt not decline to the right or to the left.

But he who will be proud to obey the command of the priest, who at the time ministers to the Lord your God, and by the decree of the judge, shall that man die, and take away the evil from Israel.

And all the people hearing it, will fear, lest any man henceforth swell with pride.

When you go into the land which the Lord your God will give you, and you shall possess it, and settle it, and you shall say, I will appoint a king over me, as all the nations have.

you shall appoint him whom the Lord your God will choose from the number of your brothers. You will not be able to make a man king of another nation who is not your brother.

And it shall come to pass, when he shall be appointed, that he shall not multiply his horses, nor bring the people back to Egypt; and the cavalry shall be lifted up in number, especially when the Lord shall command you, that you shall no more return by the same way.

He shall not have many wives to captivate his mind, nor immense weights of silver and gold.

And after he shall sit on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, receiving a copy from the priests of the three Levites:

and he shall be with him, and shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, and to keep the words and ceremonies which are commanded in the law.

Neither let his heart be proud of his brethren, nor turn aside to the right or to the left, that he and his sons might reign a long time over Israel.
