16:18

Judges
<08199> (8802)

and officers
<07860> (8802)

shalt thou make
<05414> (8799)

thee in all thy gates
<08179>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, throughout thy tribes
<07626>_:

and they shall judge
<08199> (8804)

the people
<05971>

with just
<06664>

judgment
<04941>_.

16:19

Thou shalt not wrest
<05186> (8686)

judgment
<04941>_;

thou shalt not respect
<05234> (8686)

persons
<06440>_,

neither take
<03947> (8799)

a gift
<07810>_:

for a gift
<07810>

doth blind
<05786> (8762)

the eyes
<05869>

of the wise
<02450>_,

and pervert
<05557> (8762)

the words
<01697>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

{words: or, matters}

16:20

That which is altogether
<06664>

just
<06664>

shalt thou follow
<07291> (8799)_,

that thou mayest live
<02421> (8799)_,

and inherit
<03423> (8804)

the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee. {That which...: Heb. Justice, justice}

16:21

Thou shalt not plant
<05193> (8799)

thee a grove
<0842>

of any trees
<06086>

near unto
<0681>

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which thou shalt make
<06213> (8799)

thee.

16:22

Neither shalt thou set thee up
<06965> (8686)

[any] image
<04676>_;

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hateth
<08130> (8804)_.

{image: or, statue, or, pillar}

17:1

Thou shalt not sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

[any] bullock
<07794>_,

or sheep
<07716>_,

wherein is blemish
<03971>_,

[or] any evilfavouredness
<07451> <01697>_:

for that [is] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

{sheep: or, goat}

17:2

If there be found
<04672> (8735)

among
<07130>

you, within any
<0259>

of thy gates
<08179>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, man
<0376>

or woman
<0802>_,

that hath wrought
<06213> (8799)

wickedness
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

in transgressing
<05674> (8800)

his covenant
<01285>_,

17:3

And hath gone
<03212> (8799)

and served
<05647> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

them, either the sun
<08121>_,

or moon
<03394>_,

or any of the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>_,

which I have not commanded
<06680> (8765)_;

17:4

And it be told
<05046> (8717)

thee, and thou hast heard
<08085> (8804)

[of it], and enquired
<01875> (8804)

diligently
<03190> (8687)_,

and, behold, [it be] true
<0571>_,

[and] the thing
<01697>

certain
<03559> (8737)_,

[that] such abomination
<08441>

is wrought
<06213> (8738)

in Israel
<03478>_:

17:5

Then shalt thou bring forth
<03318> (8689)

that man
<0376>

or that woman
<0802>_,

which have committed
<06213> (8804)

that wicked
<07451>

thing
<01697>_,

unto thy gates
<08179>_,

[even] that man
<0376>

or that woman
<0802>_,

and shalt stone
<05619> (8804)

them with stones
<068>_,

till they die
<04191> (8804)_.

17:6

At the mouth
<06310>

of two
<08147>

witnesses
<05707>_,

or three
<07969>

witnesses
<05707>_,

shall he that is worthy of death
<04191> (8714)

be put to death
<04191> (8801)_;

[but] at the mouth
<06310>

of one
<0259>

witness
<05707>

he shall not be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.

17:7

The hands
<03027>

of the witnesses
<05707>

shall be first
<07223>

upon him to put him to death
<04191> (8687)_,

and afterward
<0314>

the hands
<03027>

of all the people
<05971>_.

So thou shalt put
<01197> (0)

the evil
<07451>

away
<01197> (8765)

from among
<07130>

you.

17:8

If there arise a matter
<01697>

too hard
<06381> (8735)

for thee in judgment
<04941>_,

between blood
<01818>

and blood
<01818>_,

between plea
<01779>

and plea
<01779>_,

and between stroke
<05061>

and stroke
<05061>_,

[being] matters
<01697>

of controversy
<07379>

within thy gates
<08179>_:

then shalt thou arise
<06965> (8804)_,

and get thee up
<05927> (8804)

into the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)_;

17:9

And thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)

unto the priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>_,

and unto the judge
<08199> (8802)

that shall be in those days
<03117>_,

and enquire
<01875> (8804)_;

and they shall shew
<05046> (8689)

thee the sentence
<01697>

of judgment
<04941>_:

17:10

And thou shalt do
<06213> (8804)

according to the sentence
<06310> <01697>_,

which they of that place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)

shall shew
<05046> (8686)

thee; and thou shalt observe
<08104> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)

according to all that they inform
<03384> (8686)

thee:

17:11

According to the sentence
<06310>

of the law
<08451>

which they shall teach
<03384> (8686)

thee, and according to the judgment
<04941>

which they shall tell
<0559> (8799)

thee, thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_:

thou shalt not decline
<05493> (8799)

from the sentence
<01697>

which they shall shew
<05046> (8686)

thee, [to] the right hand
<03225>_,

nor [to] the left
<08040>_.

17:12

And the man
<0376>

that will do
<06213> (8799)

presumptuously
<02087>_,

and will not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto the priest
<03548>

that standeth
<05975> (8802)

to minister
<08334> (8763)

there before the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

or unto the judge
<08199> (8802)_,

even that man
<0376>

shall die
<04191> (8804)_:

and thou shalt put away
<01197> (8765)

the evil
<07451>

from Israel
<03478>_.

{and will...: Heb. not to hearken}

17:13

And all the people
<05971>

shall hear
<08085> (8799)_,

and fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and do no more presumptuously
<02102> (8686)_.
