Deuteronomy 16:18--18:22

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)_.

17:14

When thou art come
<0935> (8799)

unto the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, and shalt possess
<03423> (8804)

it, and shalt dwell
<03427> (8804)

therein, and shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

I will set
<07760> (8799)

a king
<04428>

over me, like as all the nations
<01471>

that [are] about
<05439>

me;

17:15

Thou shalt in any wise
<07760> (8800)

set
<07760> (8799)

[him] king
<04428>

over thee, whom the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)_:

[one] from among
<07130>

thy brethren
<0251>

shalt thou set
<07760> (8799)

king
<04428>

over thee: thou mayest
<03201> (8799)

not set
<05414> (8800)

a stranger
<05237> <0376>

over thee, which [is] not thy brother
<0251>_.

17:16

But he shall not multiply
<07235> (8686)

horses
<05483>

to himself, nor cause the people
<05971>

to return
<07725> (8686)

to Egypt
<04714>_,

to the end that he should multiply
<07235> (8687)

horses
<05483>_:

forasmuch as the LORD
<03068>

hath said
<0559> (8804)

unto you, Ye shall henceforth
<03254> (8686)

return
<07725> (8800)

no more that way
<01870>_.

17:17

Neither shall he multiply
<07235> (8686)

wives
<0802>

to himself, that his heart
<03824>

turn
<05493> (8799)

not away: neither shall he greatly
<03966>

multiply
<07235> (8686)

to himself silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_.

17:18

And it shall be, when he sitteth
<03427> (8800)

upon the throne
<03678>

of his kingdom
<04467>_,

that he shall write
<03789> (8804)

him a copy
<04932>

of this law
<08451>

in a book
<05612>

out of [that which is] before
<06440>

the priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>_:

17:19

And it shall be with him, and he shall read
<07121> (8804)

therein all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_:

that he may learn
<03925> (8799)

to fear
<03372> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

to keep
<08104> (8800)

all the words
<01697>

of this law
<08451>

and these statutes
<02706>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

them:

17:20

That his heart
<03824>

be not lifted up
<07311> (8800)

above his brethren
<0251>_,

and that he turn not aside
<05493> (8800)

from the commandment
<04687>_,

[to] the right hand
<03225>_,

or [to] the left
<08040>_:

to the end that he may prolong
<0748> (8686)

[his] days
<03117>

in his kingdom
<04467>_,

he, and his children
<01121>_,

in the midst
<07130>

of Israel
<03478>_.

18:1

The priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>_,

[and] all the tribe
<07626>

of Levi
<03878>_,

shall have no part
<02506>

nor inheritance
<05159>

with Israel
<03478>_:

they shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the offerings
<0801> (0)

of the LORD
<03068>

made by fire
<0801>_,

and his inheritance
<05159>_.

18:2

Therefore shall they have no inheritance
<05159>

among
<07130>

their brethren
<0251>_:

the LORD
<03068>

[is] their inheritance
<05159>_,

as he hath said
<01696> (8765)

unto them.

18:3

And this shall be the priest's
<03548>

due
<04941>

from the people
<05971>_,

from them that offer
<02076> (8802)

a sacrifice
<02077>_,

whether [it be] ox
<07794>

or sheep
<07716>_;

and they shall give
<05414> (8804)

unto the priest
<03548>

the shoulder
<02220>_,

and the two cheeks
<03895>_,

and the maw
<06896>_.

18:4

The firstfruit
<07225>

[also] of thy corn
<01715>_,

of thy wine
<08492>_,

and of thine oil
<03323>_,

and the first
<07225>

of the fleece
<01488>

of thy sheep
<06629>_,

shalt thou give
<05414> (8799)

him.

18:5

For the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath chosen
<0977> (8804)

him out of all thy tribes
<07626>_,

to stand
<05975> (8800)

to minister
<08334> (8763)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

him and his sons
<01121>

for ever
<03117>_.

18:6

And if a Levite
<03881>

come
<0935> (8799)

from any
<0259>

of thy gates
<08179>

out of all Israel
<03478>_,

where he sojourned
<01481> (8802)_,

and come
<0935> (8804)

with all the desire
<0185>

of his mind
<05315>

unto the place
<04725>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall choose
<0977> (8799)_;

18:7

Then he shall minister
<08334> (8765)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

as all his brethren
<0251>

the Levites
<03881>

[do], which stand
<05975> (8802)

there before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

18:8

They shall have like portions
<02506>

to eat
<0398> (8799)_,

beside that which cometh of the sale
<04465>

of his patrimony
<01>_.

{that...: Heb. his sale by the fathers}

18:9

When thou art come
<0935> (8802)

into the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, thou shalt not learn
<03925> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

after the abominations
<08441>

of those nations
<01471>_.

18:10

There shall not be found
<04672> (8735)

among you [any one] that maketh his son
<01121>

or his daughter
<01323>

to pass
<05674> (8688)

through the fire
<0784>_,

[or] that useth
<07080> (8802)

divination
<07081>_,

[or] an observer of times
<06049> (8781)_,

or an enchanter
<05172> (8764)_,

or a witch
<03784> (8764)_,

18:11

Or a charmer
<02266> (8802) <02267>_,

or a consulter
<07592> (8802)

with familiar spirits
<0178>_,

or a wizard
<03049>_,

or a necromancer
<01875> (8802) <04191> (8801)_.

18:12

For all that do
<06213> (8802)

these things [are] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

and because
<01558>

of these abominations
<08441>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

doth drive them out
<03423> (8688)

from before
<06440>

thee.

18:13

Thou shalt be perfect
<08549>

with the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

{perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}

18:14

For these nations
<01471>_,

which thou shalt possess
<03423> (8802)_,

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto observers of times
<06049> (8781)_,

and unto diviners
<07080> (8802)_:

but as for thee, the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath not suffered
<05414> (8804)

thee so [to do]. {possess: or, inherit}

18:15

The LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

will raise up
<06965> (8686)

unto thee a Prophet
<05030>

from the midst
<07130>

of thee, of thy brethren
<0251>_,

like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken
<08085> (8799)_;

18:16

According to all that thou desiredst
<07592> (8804)

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in Horeb
<02722>

in the day
<03117>

of the assembly
<06951>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let me not hear
<08085> (8800)

again
<03254> (8686)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

neither let me see
<07200> (8799)

this great
<01419>

fire
<0784>

any more, that I die
<04191> (8799)

not.

18:17

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, They have well
<03190> (8689)

[spoken that] which they have spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

18:18

I will raise them up
<06965> (8686)

a Prophet
<05030>

from among
<07130>

their brethren
<0251>_,

like unto thee, and will put
<05414> (8804)

my words
<01697>

in his mouth
<06310>_;

and he shall speak
<01696> (8765)

unto them all that I shall command
<06680> (8762)

him.

18:19

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever
<0376>

will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto my words
<01697>

which he shall speak
<01696> (8762)

in my name
<08034>_,

I will require
<01875> (8799)

[it] of him.

18:20

But the prophet
<05030>_,

which shall presume
<02102> (8686)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

a word
<01697>

in my name
<08034>_,

which I have not commanded
<06680> (8765)

him to speak
<01696> (8763)_,

or that shall speak
<01696> (8762)

in the name
<08034>

of other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

even that prophet
<05030>

shall die
<04191> (8804)_.

18:21

And if thou say
<0559> (8799)

in thine heart
<03824>_,

How shall we know
<03045> (8799)

the word
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_?

18:22

When a prophet
<05030>

speaketh
<01696> (8762)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

if the thing
<01697>

follow not, nor come to pass
<0935> (8799)_,

that [is] the thing
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

[but] the prophet
<05030>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

it presumptuously
<02087>_:

thou shalt not be afraid
<01481> (8799)

of him.
