17:1

Thou shalt not sacrifice2076 unto Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 any bullock,7794 or sheep,7716 wherein is blemish,3971 or any evilfavouredness:7451 for that is an abomination8441 unto Yahweh3068 thy Elohim.430

17:2

If there be found4672 among7130 you, within any259 of thy gates8179 which Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 giveth5414 thee, man376 or woman,802 that hath wrought6213 wickedness7451 in the sight5869 of Yahweh3068 thy Elohim,430 in transgressing5674 his covenant,1285

17:3

And hath gone3212 and served5647 other312 mighty ones,430 and worshipped7812 them, either the sun,8121 or moon,3394 or any of the host6635 of heaven,8064 which I have not commanded;6680

17:4

And it be told5046 thee, and thou hast heard8085 of it, and enquired1875 diligently,3190 and, behold, it be true,571 and the thing1697 certain,3559 that such abomination8441 is wrought6213 in Israel:3478

17:5

Then shalt thou bring forth3318 that man376 or that woman,802 which have committed6213 that wicked7451 thing,1697 unto thy gates,8179 even that man376 or that woman,802 and shalt stone5619 them with stones,68 till they die.4191

17:6

At the mouth6310 of two8147 witnesses,5707 or three7969 witnesses,5707 shall he that is worthy of death4191 be put to death;4191 but at the mouth6310 of one259 witness5707 he shall not be put to death.4191

17:7

The hands3027 of the witnesses5707 shall be first7223 upon him to put him to death,4191 and afterward314 the hands3027 of all the people.5971 So thou shalt put the evil7451 away1197 from among7130 you.

17:8

If there arise a matter1697 too hard6381 for thee in judgment,4941 between blood1818 and blood,1818 between plea1779 and plea,1779 and between stroke5061 and stroke,5061 being matters1697 of controversy7379 within thy gates:8179 then shalt thou arise,6965 and get thee up5927 into the place4725 which Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 shall choose;977

17:9

And thou shalt come935 unto the priests3548 the Levites,3881 and unto the judge8199 that shall be in those days,3117 and enquire;1875 and they shall shew5046 thee the sentence1697 of judgment:4941

17:10

And thou shalt do6213 according6310 to the sentence,1697 which they of that place4725 which Yahweh3068 shall choose977 shall shew5046 thee; and thou shalt observe8104 to do6213 according to all that they inform3384 thee:

17:11

According to the sentence6310 of the law8451 which they shall teach3384 thee, and according to the judgment4941 which they shall tell559 thee, thou shalt do:6213 thou shalt not decline5493 from the sentence1697 which they shall shew5046 thee, to the right hand,3225 nor to the left.8040

17:12

And the man376 that will do6213 presumptuously,2087 and will not hearken8085 unto the priest3548 that standeth5975 to minister8334 there before Yahweh3068 thy Elohim,430 or unto the judge,8199 even that man376 shall die:4191 and thou shalt put away1197 the evil7451 from Israel.3478

17:13

And all the people5971 shall hear,8085 and fear,3372 and do no more presumptuously.2102

17:14

When thou art come935 unto the land776 which Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 giveth5414 thee, and shalt possess3423 it, and shalt dwell3427 therein, and shalt say,559 I will set7760 a king4428 over me, like as all the nations1471 that are about5439 me;

17:15

Thou shalt in any wise7760 set7760 him king4428 over thee, whom Yahweh3068 thy Elohim430 shall choose:977 one from among7130 thy brethren251 shalt thou set7760 king4428 over thee: thou mayest3201 not set5414 a stranger5237 over thee, which is not thy brother.251

17:16

But he shall not multiply7235 horses5483 to himself, nor cause the people5971 to return7725 to Egypt,4714 to the end that he should multiply7235 horses:5483 forasmuch as Yahweh3068 hath said559 unto you, Ye shall henceforth return7725 no more3254 that way.1870

17:17

Neither shall he multiply7235 wives802 to himself, that his heart3824 turn not away:5493 neither shall he greatly3966 multiply7235 to himself silver3701 and gold.2091

And it shall be, when he sitteth3427 upon the throne3678 of his kingdom,4467 that he shall write3789 him a copy4932 of this law8451 in a book5612 out of that which is before6440 the priests3548 the Levites:3881

17:19

And it shall be with him, and he shall read7121 therein all the days3117 of his life:2416 that he may learn3925 to fear3372 Yahweh3068 his Elohim,430 to keep8104 all the words1697 of this law8451 and these statutes,2706 to do6213 them:

17:20

That his heart3824 be not lifted up7311 above his brethren,251 and that he turn not aside5493 from the commandment,4687 to the right hand,3225 or to the left:8040 to the end that he may prolong748 his days3117 in his kingdom,4467 he, and his children,1121 in the midst7130 of Israel.3478
