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.
