8If there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between pleaH1779 and pleaH1779, and between strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and get thee upH5927 into the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977; 9And thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in those daysH3117, and enquireH1875; and they shall shewH5046 thee the sentenceH1697 of judgmentH4941: 10And thou shalt doH6213 according to the sentenceH1697H6310, which they of that placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 shall chooseH977 shall shewH5046 thee; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that they informH3384 thee: 11According to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 which they shall teachH3384 thee, and according to the judgmentH4941 which they shall tellH559 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 which they shall shewH5046 thee, to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040. 12And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.1 13And all the peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and do no more presumptuouslyH2102.
