   Deuteronomy 17   
   [1] Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep,   
   wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto   
   the LORD thy God.   
   [2] If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy   
   God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of   
   the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, [3] And hath gone and served   
   other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host   
   of heaven, which I have not commanded; [4] And it be told thee, and thou hast   
   heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing   
   certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:   
   [5] Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed   
   that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt   
   stone them with stones, till they die. [6] At the mouth of two witnesses, or   
   three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the   
   mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.   
   [7] The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death,   
   and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away   
   from among you.   
   [8] If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and   
   blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of   
   controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the   
   place which the LORD thy God shall choose; [9] And thou shalt come unto the   
   priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and   
   inquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:   
   [10] And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place   
   which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do   
   according to all that they inform thee: [11] According to the sentence of the   
   law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they   
   shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which   
   they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.   
   [12] And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the   
   priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the   
   judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.   
   [13] And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.   
   [14] When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and   
   shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king   
   over me, like as all the nations that are about me; [15] Thou shalt in any   
   wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from   
   among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a   
   stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. [16] But he shall not multiply   
   horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he   
   should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall   
   henceforth return no more that way. [17] Neither shall he multiply wives to   
   himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to   
   himself silver and gold. [18] And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne   
   of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of   
   that which is before the priests the Levites:   
   [19] And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his   
   life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of   
   this law and these statutes, to do them: [20] That his heart be not lifted up   
   above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the   
   right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his   
   kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.   
      
   Deuteronomy 18   
   [1] The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor   
   inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by   
   fire, and his inheritance.   
   [2] Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is   
   their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. [3] And this shall be the   
   priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be   
   ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two   
   cheeks, and the maw. [4] The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of   
   thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. [5]   
   For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to   
   minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever. [6] And if a   
   Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and   
   come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall   
   choose;   
   [7] Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his   
   brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD. [8] They shall   
   have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his   
   patrimony.   
   [9] When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou   
   shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. [10] There   
   shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to   
   pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or   
   an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar   
   spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.   
   [12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and   
   because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before   
   thee.   
   [13] Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. [14] For these nations,   
   which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto   
   diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.   
   [15] The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of   
   thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; [16] According   
   to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the   
   assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither   
   let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. [17] And the LORD said   
   unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.   
   [18] I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee,   
   and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I   
   shall command him.   
   [19] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words   
   which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. [20] But the   
   prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not   
   commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even   
   that prophet shall die.   
   [21] And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD   
   hath not spoken?   
   [22] When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not,   
   nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the   
   prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.   
   Deuteronomy 19   
   [1] When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy   
   God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and   
   in their houses;   
   [2] Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which   
   the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. [3] Thou shalt prepare thee a way,   
   and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to   
   inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.   
   [4] And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may   
   live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;   
   [5] As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his   
   hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head   
   slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he   
   shall flee unto one of those cities, and live: [6] Lest the avenger of the   
   blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the   
   way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he   
   hated him not in time past. [7] Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt   
   separate three cities for thee.   
   [8] And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy   
   fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;   
   [9] If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee   
   this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt   
   thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three: [10] That innocent   
   blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an   
   inheritance, and so blood be upon thee. [11] But if any man hate his   
   neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him   
   mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:   
   [12] Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver   
   him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. [13] Thine eye   
   shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from   
   Israel, that it may go well with thee. [14] Thou shalt not remove thy   
   neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance,   
   which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to   
   possess it. [15] One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity,   
   or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or   
   at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. [16] If a   
   false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is   
   wrong;   
   [17] Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before   
   the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;   
   [18] And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the   
   witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;   
   [19] Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his   
   brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. [20] And those which   
   remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil   
   among you.
