[1] You shall not sacrifice to Yahweh your God an ox or a sheep in which is a defect or anything evil; for that is an abomination to Yahweh your God. [2] If there is found among you, within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in Yahweh your God’s sight in transgressing his covenant, [3] and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded, [4] and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel, [5] then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones. [6] At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death. [7] The hands of the witnesses shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from among you. [8] If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise, and go up to the place which Yahweh your God chooses. [9] You shall come to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who shall be in those days. You shall inquire, and they shall give you the verdict. [10] You shall do according to the decisions of the verdict which they shall give you from that place which Yahweh chooses. You shall observe to do according to all that they shall teach you. [11] According to the decisions of the law which they shall teach you, and according to the judgment which they shall tell you, you shall do. You shall not turn away from the sentence which they announce to you, to the right hand, nor to the left. [12] The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel. [13] All the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously. [14] When you have come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,” [15] you shall surely set him whom Yahweh your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother. [16] Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because Yahweh has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.” [17] He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. [18] It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests. [19] It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them; [20] that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not turn away 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 middle of Israel.
King James Version
[1] Thou shalt H2076 not H3808 sacrifice H2076 unto the Lord H3068 thy God H430 any bullock, H7794 or sheep, H7716§ wherein H834 is H1961 blemish, H3971 or any H3605 evilfavouredness: H1697 H7451 for H3588 that H1931 is an abomination H8441 unto the Lord H3068 thy God. H430 [2] If H3588 there be found H4672 among you, H7130 within any H259 of thy gates H8179 which H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee, man H376 or H176 woman, H802 that H834 hath wrought H6213 H853 wickedness H7451 in the sight H5869 of the Lord H3068 thy God, H430 in transgressing H5674 his covenant, H1285 [3] and hath gone H3212 and served H5647 other H312 gods, H430 and worshipped H7812 them, either the sun, H8121 or H176 moon, H3394 or H176 any H3605 of the host H6635 of heaven, H8064 which H834 I have H6680 not H3808 commanded; H6680 [4] and it be told H5046 thee, and thou hast heard H8085 of it, and enquired H1875 diligently, H3190 and, behold, H2009 it be true, H571 and the thing H1697 certain, H3559 that such H2063 abomination H8441 is wrought H6213 in Israel: H3478 [5] then shalt thou bring forth H3318 H853 that H1931 man H376 or H176 H853 that H1931 woman, H802 which H834 have committed H6213 H853 that H2088 wicked H7451 thing, H1697 unto H413 thy gates, H8179 even H853 that man H376 or H176 H853 that woman, H802 and shalt stone H5619 them H5619 with stones, H68 till they die. H4191 [6] At H5921 the mouth H6310 of two H8147 witnesses, H5707 or H176 three H7969 witnesses, H5707 shall H4191 he that is worthy of death H4191 be put to death; H4191 but at H5921 the mouth H6310 of one H259 witness H5707 he shall H4191 not H3808 be put to death. H4191 [7] The hands H3027 of the witnesses H5707 shall be H1961 first H7223 upon him to put him to death, H4191 and afterward H314 the hands H3027 of all H3605 the people. H5971 So thou shalt put H1197 the evil H7451 away H1197 from among you. H7130 [8] If H3588 there arise H6381 a matter H1697 too hard H6381 for thee H4480 in judgment, H4941 between H996 blood H1818 and blood, H1818 between H996 plea H1779 and plea, H1779 and between H996 stroke H5061 and stroke, H5061 being matters H1697 of controversy H7379 within thy gates: H8179 then shalt thou arise, H6965 and get thee up H5927 into H413 the place H4725 which H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 shall choose; H977 [9] and thou shalt come H935 unto H413 the priests H3548 the Levites, H3881 and unto H413 the judge H8199 that H834 shall be H1961 in those H1992 days, H3117 and enquire; H1875 and they shall shew H5046 thee H853 the sentence H1697 of judgment: H4941 [10] and thou shalt do H6213 according to H5921 H6310 the sentence, H1697 which H834 they H5046 of H4480 that H1931 place H4725 which H834 the Lord H3068 shall choose H977 shall shew H5046 thee; and thou shalt observe H8104 to do H6213 according to all H3605 that H834 they inform thee: H3384 [11] according to H5921 the sentence H6310 of the law H8451 which H834 they shall teach thee, H3384 and according to H5921 the judgment H4941 which H834 they shall tell H559 thee, thou shalt do: H6213 thou shalt H5493 not H3808 decline H5493 from H4480 the sentence H1697 which H834 they shall shew H5046 thee, to the right hand, H3225 nor to the left. H8040 [12] And the man H376 that H834 will do H6213 presumptuously, H2087 and will H8085 not H1115 hearken H8085§ unto H413 the priest H3548 that standeth H5975 to minister H8334 there H8033 before H853 the Lord H3068 thy God, H430 or H176 unto H413 the judge, H8199 even that H1931 man H376 shall die: H4191 and thou shalt put away H1197 the evil H7451 from Israel. H3478 [13] And all H3605 the people H5971 shall hear, H8085 and fear, H3372 and do H2102 no H3808 more H5750 presumptuously. H2102 [14] When H3588 thou art come H935 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee, and shalt possess it, H3423 and shalt dwell H3427 therein, and shalt say, H559 I will set H7760 a king H4428 over me, H5921 like as all H3605 the nations H1471 that H834 are about me; H5439 [15] thou shalt H7760 in any wise H7760 set H7760 him king H4428 over thee, H5921 whom H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 shall choose: H977 one from among H7130 thy brethren H251 shalt thou set H7760 king H4428 over thee: H5921 thou mayest H3201 not H3808 set H5414 a stranger H376 H5237 over thee, H5921 which H834 is not H3808 thy brother. H251 H1931 [16] But H7535 he shall H7235 not H3808 multiply H7235 horses H5483 to himself, nor H3808 cause H7725 H853 the people H5971 to return H7725 to Egypt, H4714 to the end that H4616 he should multiply H7235 horses: H5483 forasmuch as the Lord H3068 hath said H559 unto you, Ye shall henceforth H3254 return H7725 no H3808 more H5750 that H2088 way. H1870 [17] Neither H3808 shall he multiply H7235 wives H802 to himself, that his heart H3824 turn H5493 not H3808 away: H5493 neither H3808 shall he H7235 greatly H3966 multiply H7235 to himself silver H3701 and gold. H2091 [18] And it shall be, H1961 when he sitteth H3427 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of his kingdom, H4467 that he shall write H3789 him H853 a copy H4932 of this H2063 law H8451 in H5921 a book H5612 out of H6440 that which is before H6440 the priests H3548 the Levites: H3881 [19] and it shall be H1961 with him, H5973 and he shall read H7121 therein all H3605 the days H3117 of his life: H2416 that H4616 he may learn H3925 to fear H3372 H853 the Lord H3068 his God, H430 to keep H8104 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of this H2063 law H8451 and H853 these H428 statutes, H2706 to do them: H6213 [20] that H1115 his heart H3824 be H7311 not H1115 lifted up H7311 above his brethren, H251 and that H1115 he turn H5493 not H1115 aside H5493 from H4480 the commandment, H4687 to the right hand, H3225 or to the left: H8040 to the end that H4616 he may prolong H748 his days H3117 in H5921 his kingdom, H4467 he, H1931 and his children, H1121 in the midst H7130 of Israel.
