Revised Version 1895
Deuteronomy 17:2-13
2IfH3588 there be foundH4672 in the midstH7130 of thee, withinH7130 anyH376 of thy gatesH8179 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee, manH376 or womanH802, that doeth that whichH834 is evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, in transgressing his covenantH1285,
3and hath goneH3808 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipped them, or the sunH8121, or the moonH3394, or anyH3605 of the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, whichH834 I have notH3808 commandedH6680;
4and it be toldH5046 thee, and thou hast heardH8085 of it, then shalt thou inquireH1875 diligentlyH8085, and, beholdH2009, ifH2009 it be trueH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that suchH2063 abominationH8441 is wrought in IsraelH3478;
5then shalt thou bringH3318 forthH3318 that manH376 or that womanH802, whichH834 have doneH6213 this evilH7451 thingH1697, unto thy gatesH8179, evenH853 the manH376 or the womanH802; and thou shalt stoneH68 them with stonesH68, that they dieH4191.
6At the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707, or threeH7969 witnessesH5707, shall he that is to dieH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191; at the mouthH6310 of one witnessH5707 he shall notH3808 be putH4191 to deathH4191.
7The handH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 uponH1961 him to putH4191 him to deathH4191, and afterwardH314 the handH3027 of allH3605 the peopleH5971. SoH1961 thou shalt putH4191 awayH3605 the evilH7451 from the midstH7130 of thee.
8IfH3588 there ariseH6965 a matterH1697 tooH4480 hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, betweenH996 bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, betweenH996 pleaH7379 and pleaH7379, and betweenH996 strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, beingH430 mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 withinH996 thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and getH6965 thee upH5927 unto the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977;
9and thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in thoseH834 daysH3117: and thou shalt inquireH1875; and they shall shew thee the sentenceH4941 of judgmentH4941:
10and thou shalt doH6213 accordingH5921 to the tenor of the sentence, whichH834 they shall shew thee from that placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 accordingH5921 to allH3605 that they shall teachH3384 thee:
11accordingH5921 to the tenor of the lawH8451 whichH834 they shall teachH3384 thee, and accordingH5921 to the judgmentH4941 whichH834 they shall tellH5046 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt notH3808 turnH5493 asideH5493 from the sentenceH4941 whichH834 they shall shew thee, to the rightH3225 handH3225, norH3808 to the leftH8040.
12And the manH376 that doeth presumptuouslyH2087, in notH1115 hearkening unto the priestH3548 that standeth to ministerH8334 there beforeH413 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, evenH853 that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt putH4191 awayH7451 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.
13And allH3605 the peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and doH3605 noH3808 moreH5750 presumptuouslyH2102.
