05:016:022 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy
God hateth.
05:017:001 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.
05:017:002 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,
05:017:003 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;
05:017:004 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:
05:017:005 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.
05:017:006 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.
05:017:007 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.
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
