CHAPTER 17
Deuteronomy 17:1
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.
Deuteronomy 17:2
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, Deuteronomy 17:3
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;
Deuteronomy 17:4
4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently,
and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is
wrought in Israel:
Deuteronomy 17:5
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. Deuteronomy 17:6
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.
Deuteronomy 17:7
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.
Deuteronomy 17:8
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; Deuteronomy 17:9
9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that
shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence
of judgment:
Deuteronomy 17:10
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: Deuteronomy 17:11
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.
Deuteronomy 17:12
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.
Deuteronomy 17:13
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Deuteronomy 17:14
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; Deuteronomy 17:15
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.
Deuteronomy 17:16
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.
Deuteronomy 17:17
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not
away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Deuteronomy 17:18
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:
Deuteronomy 17:19
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: Deuteronomy 17:20
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.
CHAPTER 18
Deuteronomy 18:1
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.
Deuteronomy 18:2
2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD
is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. Deuteronomy 18:3
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. Deuteronomy 18:4
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. Deuteronomy 18:5
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. Deuteronomy
18:6
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;
Deuteronomy 18:7
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. Deuteronomy
18:8
8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the
sale of his patrimony.
Deuteronomy 18:9
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. Deuteronomy
18:10
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, Deuteronomy 18:11
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deuteronomy 18:12
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.
Deuteronomy 18:13
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 18:14
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.
Deuteronomy 18:15
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; Deuteronomy
18:16
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.
Deuteronomy 18:17
17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Deuteronomy 18:18
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.
Deuteronomy 18:19
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. Deuteronomy
18:20
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.
Deuteronomy 18:21
21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the
LORD hath not spoken?
Deuteronomy 18:22
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. CHAPTER 19
Deuteronomy 19:1
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;
Deuteronomy 19:2
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which
the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. Deuteronomy 19:3
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.
Deuteronomy 19:4
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;
Deuteronomy 19:5
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: Deuteronomy 19:6
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.
Deuteronomy 19:7
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
Deuteronomy 19:8
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;
Deuteronomy 19:9
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:
Deuteronomy 19:10
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. Deuteronomy
19:11
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:
Deuteronomy 19:12
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. Deuteronomy
19:13
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. Deuteronomy
19:14
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. Deuteronomy 19:15
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. Deuteronomy
19:16
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that
which is wrong;
Deuteronomy 19:17
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;
Deuteronomy 19:18
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the
witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
Deuteronomy 19:19
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. Deuteronomy 19:20
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit
no more any such evil among you.
Deuteronomy 19:21
21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye,
tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
