Deuteronomie 17

1 The things sacrificed must be sound. 2 Idolaters must be slain. 8 Hard controversies are to be determined by the priests and judges. 12 The contemner of that determination must die. 14 The election, 16 and duty of a king.

 17:1 ¶ Thou shalt not x3808 sacrifice 2076 z8799 vnto the LORD 3068 thy God 430 any bullocke, 7794 or sheepe 7716 wherein x834 is x1961 blemish, 3971 [or] any x3605 euilfauourednes: 7451 1697 for x3588 that x1931 is an abomination 8441 vnto the LORD 3068 thy God. 430

 17:2 ¶ If x3588 there bee found 4672 z8735 among 7130 you within any 259 of thy gates 8179 which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giueth 5414 z8802 thee, man 376 or x176 woman 802 that x834 hath wrought 6213 z8799 x853 wickednes 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 in transgressing 5674 z8800 his couenant, 1285

 17:3 And hath gone y3212 z8799 x1980 and serued 5647 z8799 other 312 gods, 430 and worshipped 7812 z8691 them, either the Sunne, 8121 or x176 Moone, 3394 or x176 any x3605 of the hoste 6635 of heauen, 8064 which x834 I haue not x3808 commanded, 6680 z8765

 17:4 And it be told 5046 z8717 thee, and thou hast heard 8085 z8804 [of it], and inquired 1875 z8804 diligently, 3190 z8687 and behold, x2009 it [be] true, 571 [and] the thing 1697 certaine, 3559 z8737 [that] such x2063 abomination 8441 is wrought 6213 z8738 in Israel: 3478

 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth 3318 z8689 x853 that x1931 man, 376 or x176 that x1931 woman 802 (which x834 haue committed 6213 z8804 x853 that x2088 wicked 7451 thing) 1697 vnto x413 thy gates, 8179 [euen] x853 that man, 376 or x176 x853 that woman, 802 and shalt stone 5619 z8804 them with stones 68 till they die. 4191 z8804

 17:6 At x5921 the mouth 6310 of two 8147 witnesses, 5707 or x176 three 7969 witnesses, 5707 shall he that is worthy of death, 4191 z8714 be put to death: 4191 z8801 [but] at x5921 the mouth 6310 of one 259 witnesse 5707 he shall not x3808 bee put to death. 4191 z8714

 17:7 The hands 3027 of the witnesses 5707 shall be x1961 first 7223 vpon him, to put him to death, 4191 z8687 and afterward 314 the hands 3027 of all x3605 the people: 5971 so thou shalt put y1197 z0 the euil y7451 away 1197 z8765 x7451 from among 7130 x4480 you.

 17:8 ¶ If x3588 there arise a matter y1697 too hard 6381 z8735 x1697 for x4480 thee in iudgement, 4941 betweene x996 blood 1818 and blood, 1818 betweene x996 plea 1779 and plea, 1779 and betweene x996 stroke 5061 and stroke, 5061 being matters 1697 of controuersie 7379 within thy gates: 8179 then shalt thou arise, 6965 z8804 and get thee vp 5927 z8804 into x413 the place, 4725 which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall choose; 977 z8799

 17:9 And thou shalt come 935 z8804 vnto x413 the Priests 3548 the Leuites, 3881 & vnto x413 the Iudge 8199 z8802 that x834 shal be x1961 in those x1992 dayes, 3117 and enquire; 1875 z8804 and they shall shew 5046 z8689 thee x853 the sentence 1697 of Iudgement. 4941

 17:10 And thou shalt doe 6213 z8804 according to x5921 x6310 the sentence 1697 y6310 which x834 they of x4480 that x1931 place 4725 (which x834 the LORD 3068 shall choose) 977 z8799 shall shew 5046 z8686 thee, and thou shalt obserue 8104 z8804 to do 6213 z8800 according to all x3605 that x834 they enforme 3384 z8686 thee:

 17:11 According to x5921 the sentence 6310 of the Law 8451 which x834 they shall teach 3384 z8686 thee, and according to x5921 the Iudgement 4941 which x834 they shall tell 559 z8799 thee thou shalt doe: 6213 z8799 thou shalt not x3808 decline 5493 z8799 from x4480 the Sentence 1697 which x834 they shall shew 5046 z8686 thee, to the right hand, 3225 nor to the left. 8040

 17:12 And the man 376 that x834 will doe 6213 z8799 presumptuously, 2087 and will not x1115 hearken 8085 z8800 vnto x413 the Priest 3548 (that standeth 5975 z8802 to minister 8334 z8763 there x8033 before x854 the LORD 3068 thy God) 430 or x176 vnto x413 the Iudge, 8199 z8802 euen that x1931 man 376 shall die, 4191 z8804 and thou shalt put away 1197 z8765 the euill 7451 from Israel. 3478 x4480

 17:13 And all x3605 the people 5971 shal heare, 8085 z8799 and feare, 3372 z8799 and doe no x3808 more x5750 presumptuously. 2102 z8686

 17:14 ¶ When x3588 thou art come 935 z8799 vnto x413 the land 776 which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giueth 5414 z8802 thee, and shalt possesse 3423 z8804 it, and shalt dwell 3427 z8804 therein, and shalt say, 559 z8804 I will set 7760 z8799 a King 4428 ouer x5921 mee, like as all x3605 the nations 1471 that x834 [are] about 5439 me:

 17:15 Thou shalt in any wise y7760 z8800 set 7760 z8799 [him] King 4428 ouer x5921 thee, whom x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 shall choose. 977 z8799 [One] from among 7130 x4480 thy brethren 251 shalt thou set 7760 z8799 King 4428 ouer x5921 thee: thou mayest 3201 z8799 not x3808 set 5414 z8800 a stranger 5237 376 ouer x5921 thee, which x834 is not x3808 thy brother. 251

 17:16 But x7535 he shall not x3808 multiply 7235 z8686 horses 5483 to himselfe, nor x3808 cause x853 the people 5971 to returne 7725 z8686 to Egypt, 4714 to the ende that x4616 hee should multiply 7235 z8687 horses: 5483 for as much as the LORD 3068 hath said 559 z8804 vnto you, Yee shall hencefoorth 3254 z8686 returne 7725 z8800 no x3808 more x5750 that x2088 way. 1870

 17:17 Neither x3808 shall he multiply 7235 z8686 wiues 802 to himselfe, that his heart 3824 turne y5493 z8799 not away: x5493 x3808 neither x3808 shall hee greatly 3966 multiply 7235 z8686 to himselfe siluer 3701 and gold. 2091

 17:18 And it shall be x1961 when he sitteth 3427 z8800 vpon x5921 the Throne 3678 of his kingdome, 4467 that he shall write 3789 z8804 him x853 a copy 4932 of this x2063 Law 8451 in x5921 a booke, 5612 out of [that which is] before 6440 x4480 the Priests 3548 the Leuites. 3881

 17:19 And it shall be x1961 with x5973 him, and hee shall reade 7121 z8804 therein all x3605 the dayes 3117 of his life, 2416 that x4616 hee may learne 3925 z8799 to feare 3372 z8800 x853 the LORD 3068 his God, 430 to keep 8104 z8800 x853 all x3605 the words 1697 of this x2063 Law, 8451 and these x428 Statutes, 2706 to do 6213 z8800 them:

 17:20 That his heart 3824 bee not x1115 lifted vp 7311 z8800 aboue his brethren, 251 x4480 and that hee turne not aside 5493 z8800 x1115 from x4480 the Commandement, 4687 to the right hand, 3225 or to the left: 8040 to the end that x4616 hee may prolong 748 z8686 [his] dayes 3117 in x5921 his kingdome, 4467 hee, x1931 and his children 1121 in the midst 7130 of Israel. 3478
