Deuteronomy chapter 17

Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
You shall not sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068 your GodH430 any bullock,H7794 or sheep,H7716 whereinH834 is blemish,H3971 or anyH3605 bad reputation:H1697 H7451 for that is an abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068 your God.H430
2
IfH3588 there be foundH4672 amongH7130 you, within anyH259 of your gatesH8179 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 you, manH376 or woman,H802 that has workedH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 your God,H430 in transgressingH5674 his covenant,H1285
3
And has goneH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 gods,H430 and worshippedH7812 them, either the sun,H8121 orH176 moon,H3394 orH176 anyH3605 of the hostH6635 of heaven,H8064 whichH834 I have not commanded;H6680
4
And it be toldH5046 you, and you have heardH8085 of it, and inquiredH1875 diligently,H3190 and, behold,H2009 it be true,H571 and the thingH1697 certain,H3559 that suchH2063 abominationH8441 is workedH6213 in Israel:H3478
5
Then shall you bringH3318 forthH3318 that manH376 orH176 that woman,H802 whichH834 have committedH6213 that wickedH7451 thing,H1697 to your gates,H8179 even that manH376 orH176 that woman,H802 and shall stoneH5619 them with stones,H68 till they die.H4191
6
AtH5921 the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnesses,H5707 orH176 threeH7969 witnesses,H5707 shall he that is worthy of deathH4191 be put to death;H4191 but atH5921 the mouthH6310 of oneH259 witnessH5707 he shall not be put to death.H4191
7
The handsH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 on him to put him to death,H4191 and afterwardH314 the handsH3027 of allH3605 the people.H5971 So you shall putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
8
IfH3588 there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for you in judgment,H4941 betweenH996 bloodH1818 and blood,H1818 betweenH996 pleaH1779 and plea,H1779 and betweenH996 strokeH5061 and stroke,H5061 being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within your gates:H8179 then shall you arise,H6965 and getH5927 you up intoH413 the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall choose;H977
9
And you shall comeH935 to the priestsH3548 the Levites,H3881 and to the judgeH8199 that shall be in thoseH1992 days,H3117 and inquire;H1875 and they shall showH5046 you the sentenceH1697 of judgment:H4941
10
And you shall doH6213 accordingH5921 H6310 to the sentence,H1697 whichH834 they of that placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 shall showH5046 you; and you shall observeH8104 to doH6213 according to allH3605 that they informH3384 you:
11
AccordingH5921 to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 whichH834 they shall teachH3384 you, and accordingH5921 to the judgmentH4941 whichH834 they shall tellH559 you, you shall do:H6213 you shall not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 whichH834 they shall showH5046 you, to the rightH3225 hand,H3225 nor to the left.H8040
12
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuously,H2087 and will not listenH8085 to the priestH3548 that standsH5975 to ministerH8334 thereH8033 beforeH854 the LORDH3068 your God,H430 orH176 to the judge,H8199 even that manH376 shall die:H4191 and you shall putH1197 awayH1197 the evilH7451 from Israel.H3478
13
And allH3605 the peopleH5971 shall hear,H8085 and fear,H3372 and do noH3808 moreH5750 presumptuously.H2102
14
WhenH3588 you are comeH935 to the landH776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givesH5414 you, and shall possessH3423 it, and shall dwellH3427 therein, and shall say,H559 I will setH7760 a kingH4428 overH5921 me, like as allH3605 the nationsH1471 that are aboutH5439 me;
15
You shall in any wise setH7760 him kingH4428 overH5921 you, whomH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall choose:H977 one from amongH7130 your brothersH251 shall you setH7760 kingH4428 overH5921 you: you mayH3021 not setH5414 a strangerH376 H5237 overH5921 you, whichH834 is not your brother.H251
16
But he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, norH3808 cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to Egypt,H4714 to the endH4616 that he should multiplyH7235 horses:H5483 for as much as the LORDH3068 has saidH559 to you, You shall from now onH3254 returnH7725 noH3808 moreH5750 that way.H1870
17
NeitherH3808 shall he multiplyH7235 wivesH802 to himself, that his heartH3824 turnH5493 not away: neitherH3808 shall he greatlyH3966 multiplyH7235 to himself silverH3701 and gold.H2091
18
And it shall be, when he sitsH3427 on the throneH3678 of his kingdom,H4467 that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of thisH2063 lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the Levites:H3881
19
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein allH3605 the daysH3117 of his life:H2416 that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his God,H430 to keepH8104 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2063 lawH8451 and theseH428 statutes,H2706 to doH6213 them:
20
That his heartH3824 be not liftedH7311 up above his brothers,H251 and that he turnH5493 not aside from the commandment,H4687 to the rightH3225 hand,H3225 or to the left:H8040 to the endH4616 that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdom,H4467 he, and his children,H1121 in the middleH7130 of Israel.H3478
