Deuteronomy 17:8-20

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>_.
