2“1IfH3588 there is foundH4672 in your midstH7130, in anyH259 of your 2townsH8179, whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you, a manH376 orH176 a womanH802 whoH834 doesH6213 whatH7451 is evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, by transgressingH5674 His covenantH1285, 3and has goneH1980 and 3servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipedH7812 them, 4or the sunH8121 orH176 the moonH3394 orH176 anyH3605 of the heavenlyH8064 hostH6635, 5whichH834 I have not commandedH6680, 4and if it is toldH5046 you and you have heardH8085 of it, then you shall inquireH1875 thoroughlyH3190. BeholdH2009, if it is trueH571 and the thingH1697 certainH3559 that thisH2088 detestableH8441 thingH8441 has been doneH6213 in IsraelH3478, 5then you shall bringH3318 out that manH376 orH176 that womanH802 whoH834 has doneH6213 thisH2088 evilH7451 deedH1697 to your gatesH8179, that is, the manH376 orH176 the womanH802, and 6you shall stoneH5619 them to 7deathH4191. 68On the 9evidenceH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707 orH176 threeH7969 witnessesH5707, he who is to dieH4191 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191; he shall not be putH4191 to deathH4191 on the 10evidenceH6310 of oneH259 witnessH5707. 711The handH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 against him to putH4191 him to deathH4191, and afterwardH314 the handH3027 of allH3605 the peopleH5971. 12So you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from your midstH7130.

8“13IfH3588 any caseH1697 is tooH4480 difficultH6381 for you to decideH4941, betweenH996 14one kind of homicideH1818 or anotherH1818, betweenH996 15one kind of lawsuitH1779 or anotherH1779, and betweenH996 16one kind of assaultH5061 or anotherH5061, being casesH1697 of disputeH7379 in your 17courtsH8179, then you shall ariseH6965 and goH5927 up to 18the placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977. 9So you shall comeH935 to 19the LeviticalH3881 priestH3548 or the judgeH8199 whoH834 is in office in thoseH1992 daysH3117, and you shall inquireH1875 of them and they will declareH5046 to you the verdictH1697 in the caseH4941. 10You shall doH6213 accordingH5921 to the 20termsH6310 of the verdictH1697 whichH834 they declareH5046 to you from that placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 choosesH977; and you shall be carefulH8104 to observeH6213 according to allH3605 that they teachH3384 you. 1121AccordingH5921 to the 22termsH6310 of the lawH8451 whichH834 they teachH3384 you, and accordingH5921 to the verdictH4941 whichH834 they tellH5046 you, you shall doH6213; you shall not turnH5493 asideH5493 from the wordH1697 whichH834 they declareH5046 to you, to the rightH3225 or the leftH8040. 12The manH376 whoH834 actsH6213 23presumptuouslyH2087 by not listeningH8085 to the priestH3548 who standsH5975 thereH8033 to serveH8334 the LordH3068 your GodH430, norH176 to the judgeH8199, that manH376 shall dieH4191; thus you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. 13Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 will hearH8085 and be afraidH3372, and will not actH2102 24presumptuouslyH2102 againH5750.
