Bible. Deuteronomy
05:017:008 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;
05:017:009 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:
05:017:010 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:
05:017:011 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.
05:017:012 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.
05:017:013 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more
presumptuously.
05:017:014 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;
05:017:015 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.
05:017:016 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.
05:017:017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart
turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself
silver and gold.
05:017:018 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:
05:017:019 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:
