17:1 Thou shalt not sacrifice 2076 8799 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430 [any] bullock 7794, or sheep 7716, wherein is blemish 3971, [or] any evilfavouredness 7451 1697: for that [is] an abomination 8441 unto the LORD 3068 thy God 430.(sheep: or, goat)

17:2 If there be found 4672 8735 among 7130 you, within any 259 of thy gates 8179 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee, man 376 or woman 802, that hath wrought 6213 8799 wickedness 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430, in transgressing 5674 8800 his covenant 1285,

17:3 And hath gone 3212 8799 and served 5647 8799 other 312 gods 430, and worshipped 7812 8691 them, either the sun 8121, or moon 3394, or any of the host 6635 of heaven 8064, which I have not commanded 6680 8765;

17:4 And it be told 5046 8717 thee, and thou hast heard 8085 8804 [of it], and enquired 1875 8804 diligently 3190 8687, and, behold, [it be] true 571, [and] the thing 1697 certain 3559 8737, [that] such abomination 8441 is wrought 6213 8738 in Israel 3478:

17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth 3318 8689 that man 376 or that woman 802, which have committed 6213 8804 that wicked 7451 thing 1697, unto thy gates 8179, [even] that man 376 or that woman 802, and shalt stone 5619 8804 them with stones 68, till they die 4191 8804.

17:6 At the mouth 6310 of two 8147 witnesses 5707, or three 7969 witnesses 5707, shall he that is worthy of death 4191 8714 be put to death 4191 8801; [but] at the mouth 6310 of one 259 witness 5707 he shall not be put to death 4191 8714.

17:7 The hands 3027 of the witnesses 5707 shall be first 7223 upon him to put him to death 4191 8687, and afterward 314 the hands 3027 of all the people 5971. So thou shalt put 1197 0 the evil 7451 away 1197 8765 from among 7130 you.

17:8 If there arise a matter 1697 too hard 6381 8735 for thee in judgment 4941, between blood 1818 and blood 1818, between plea 1779 and plea 1779, and between stroke 5061 and stroke 5061, [being] matters 1697 of controversy 7379 within thy gates 8179: then shalt thou arise 6965 8804, and get thee up 5927 8804 into the place 4725 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall choose 977 8799;

17:9 And thou shalt come 935 8804 unto the priests 3548 the Levites 3881, and unto the judge 8199 8802 that shall be in those days 3117, and enquire 1875 8804; and they shall shew 5046 8689 thee the sentence 1697 of judgment 4941:

17:10 And thou shalt do 6213 8804 according to the sentence 6310 1697, which they of that place 4725 which the LORD 3068 shall choose 977 8799 shall shew 5046 8686 thee; and thou shalt observe 8104 8804 to do 6213 8800 according to all that they inform 3384 8686 thee:

17:11 According to the sentence 6310 of the law 8451 which they shall teach 3384 8686 thee, and according to the judgment 4941 which they shall tell 559 8799 thee, thou shalt do 6213 8799: thou shalt not decline 5493 8799 from the sentence 1697 which they shall shew 5046 8686 thee, [to] the right hand 3225, nor [to] the left 8040.

17:12 And the man 376 that will do 6213 8799 presumptuously 2087, and will not hearken 8085 8800 unto the priest 3548 that standeth 5975 8802 to minister 8334 8763 there before the LORD 3068 thy God 430, or unto the judge 8199 8802, even that man 376 shall die 4191 8804: and thou shalt put away 1197 8765 the evil 7451 from Israel 3478.(and will…: Heb. not to hearken)

17:13 And all the people 5971 shall hear 8085 8799, and fear 3372 8799, and do no more presumptuously 2102 8686.

17:14 When thou art come 935 8799 unto the land 776 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee, and shalt possess 3423 8804 it, and shalt dwell 3427 8804 therein, and shalt say 559 8804, I will set 7760 8799 a king 4428 over me, like as all the nations 1471 that [are] about 5439 me;

17:15 Thou shalt in any wise 7760 8800 set 7760 8799 [him] king 4428 over thee, whom the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall choose 977 8799: [one] from among 7130 thy brethren 251 shalt thou set 7760 8799 king 4428 over thee: thou mayest 3201 8799 not set 5414 8800 a stranger 5237 376 over thee, which [is] not thy brother 251.

17:16 But he shall not multiply 7235 8686 horses 5483 to himself, nor cause the people 5971 to return 7725 8686 to Egypt 4714, to the end that he should multiply 7235 8687 horses 5483: forasmuch as the LORD 3068 hath said 559 8804 unto you, Ye shall henceforth 3254 8686 return 7725 8800 no more that way 1870.

17:17 Neither shall he multiply 7235 8686 wives 802 to himself, that his heart 3824 turn 5493 8799 not away: neither shall he greatly 3966 multiply 7235 8686 to himself silver 3701 and gold 2091.

17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth 3427 8800 upon the throne 3678 of his kingdom 4467, that he shall write 3789 8804 him a copy 4932 of this law 8451 in a book 5612 out of [that which is] before 6440 the priests 3548 the Levites 3881:

17:19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read 7121 8804 therein all the days 3117 of his life 2416: that he may learn 3925 8799 to fear 3372 8800 the LORD 3068 his God 430, to keep 8104 8800 all the words 1697 of this law 8451 and these statutes 2706, to do 6213 8800 them:

17:20 That his heart 3824 be not lifted up 7311 8800 above his brethren 251, and that he turn not aside 5493 8800 from the commandment 4687, [to] the right hand 3225, or [to] the left 8040: to the end that he may prolong 748 8686 [his] days 3117 in his kingdom 4467, he, and his children 1121, in the midst 7130 of Israel 3478.
