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 isH7451 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, by violatingH5674 His covenantH1285, 3and that person has goneH1980 and 3servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipedH2331 them, 4or the sunH8121, the moonH3394, orH176 anyH3605 of the heavenlyH8064 5lightsH6635, 6whichH834 I have commandedH6680 not to do, 4and if it is reportedH5046 to you and you have heardH8085 about it, then you shall investigateH1875 thoroughlyH3190. And 7ifH2009 it is trueH571 and the reportH1697 is trustworthyH3559 that thisH2088 detestableH8441 thingH8441 has been doneH6213 in IsraelH3478, 5then you are to bringH3318 outH3318 to your gatesH8179 that manH376 orH176 womanH802 whoH834 has doneH6213 thisH2088 evilH7451 deedH1697, that is, the manH376 orH176 the womanH802, and 8you shall stoneH5619 them to 9deathH4191. 610On the 11testimonyH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707 orH176 threeH7969 witnessesH5707, the 12condemnedH4191 shall be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191; he shall not be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191 on the 13testimonyH6310 of only oneH259 witnessH5707. 714The handsH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 against him to putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191, and afterwardH314 the handsH3027 of allH3605 the peopleH5971. 15So you shall eliminateH1197 the evilH7451 from your midstH7130.

8“16IfH3588 a caseH1697 isH6381 tooH4480 difficultH6381 for you to decideH4941, betweenH996 17one kind of homicideH1818 or anotherH1818, betweenH996 18one kind of lawsuitH1779 or anotherH1779, and betweenH996 19one kind of assaultH5061 or anotherH5061, that are casesH1697 of disputeH7379 in your 20courtsH8179, then you shall ariseH6965 and goH5927 upH5927 to 21the placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977. 9So you shall comeH935 to 22the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548 or the judgeH8199 whoH834 is in office in thoseH1992 daysH3117, and you shall inquireH1875 of them and they will declareH5046 to you the 23verdictH1697H4941. 10Then you shall actH6213 inH5921 accordanceH5921 withH5921 the 24termsH6310 of the verdictH1697 whichH834 they declareH5046 to you from that placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 choosesH977; and you shall beH8104 carefulH8104 to actH6213 in accordance with everythingH3605 that they instructH3384 you to do. 1125InH5921 accordanceH5921 withH5921 the 26termsH6310 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 27insolentlyH2087 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 28insolentlyH2102 againH5750.
