Deuteronomy 17:11-20

111InH5921 accordanceH5921 withH5921 the 2termsH6310 of the lawH8451 about whichH834 they instructH3384 you, and inH5921 accordanceH5921 withH5921 the verdictH4941 whichH834 they tellH5046 you, you shall actH6213; you shall not turnH5493 asideH5493 from the wordH1697 whichH834 they declareH5046 to you, to the rightH3225 or the leftH8040. 12But the personH376 whoH834 actsH6213 3insolentlyH2087 by not listeningH8085 to the priestH3548 who standsH5975 thereH8033 to serveH8334 the LordH3068 your GodH430, norH176 to the judgeH8199, that personH376 shall dieH4191; so you shall eliminateH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. 13Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 will hearH8085 and beH3372 afraidH3372, and will not actH2102 4insolentlyH2102 againH5750.

14“WhenH3588 you enterH935 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is givingH5414 you, and you 5takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it and liveH3427 in it, and you sayH559, ‘6I will appointH7760 a kingH4428 overH5921 me like allH3605 the nationsH1471 whoH834 are aroundH5439 me,’ 15you shall inH7760 factH7760 appointH7760 a kingH4428 overH5921 you whomH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977. One 7from amongH7130 your countrymenH251 you shall appointH7760 as kingH4428 overH5921 yourselves; you mayH3201 not putH5414 a foreignerH5237 overH5921 yourselves, anyone whoH834 is not your countrymanH251. 168InH7534 anyH7534 caseH7534, he is not to acquireH7235 manyH7235 horsesH5483 for himself, norH3808 shall he 9make the peopleH5971 returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 acquireH7235 manyH7235 horsesH5483, since 10the LordH3068 has saidH559 to you, ‘You shall neverH3808H5750 againH3254 returnH7725 that wayH1870.’ 17And 11he shall not acquireH7235 manyH7235 wivesH802 for himself, so that his heartH3824 does not turnH5493 awayH5493; norH3808 shall he greatlyH3966 increaseH7235 silverH3701 and goldH2091 for himself.

18“Now it shall comeH1961 aboutH1961, when he sitsH3427 on the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 for himself a copyH4932 of thisH2088 LawH8451 on a scrollH5612 1213in the presenceH6440 of the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548. 19And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 it 14allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425, soH4616 thatH4616 he will learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LordH3068 his GodH430, 15by carefullyH8104 followingH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 LawH8451 and theseH428 statutesH2706, 20so that his heartH3824 will not beH7311 haughtyH7311 towardH4480 his countrymenH251, 16and that he will not turnH5493 awayH5493 from the commandmentH4687 to the rightH3225 or the leftH8040, soH4616 thatH4616 he and his sonsH1121 may 17liveH748 longH748H3117 in his kingdomH4467 in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
