Chapter 17.

00:01.920 --> 00:06.840
Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy
God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is

00:06.840 --> 00:09.000
blemish, or any evil favouredness.

00:09.140 --> 00:12.040
For that is an abomination unto the Lord
thy God.

00:12.620 --> 00:17.180
If there be found among you, within any of
thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth

00:17.180 --> 00:21.940
thee, man or woman, that hath wrought
wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy

00:21.940 --> 00:26.860
God, in transgressing his covenant,
and hath gone and served other gods,

00:27.060 --> 00:31.680
and worshipped them, either the sun,
or moon, or any of the hosts of heaven,

00:32.000 --> 00:36.420
which I have not commanded, and it be told
thee, and thou hast heard of it,

00:36.600 --> 00:41.740
and inquired diligently, and behold it be
true, and the thing certain, that such

00:41.740 --> 00:46.600
abomination is wrought in Israel,
then shalt thou bring forth that man or

00:46.600 --> 00:51.240
that woman, which have committed that
wicked thing unto thy gates, even that man

00:51.240 --> 00:54.640
or that woman, and shalt stone them with
stones till they die.

00:54.640 --> 00:59.500
At the mouth of two witnesses,
or three witnesses, shall he that is

00:59.500 --> 01:03.700
worthy of death be put to death,
but at the mouth of one witness he shall

01:03.700 --> 01:04.780
not be put to death.

01:05.480 --> 01:09.820
The hands of the witnesses shall be first
upon him to put him to death, and

01:09.820 --> 01:12.020
afterward, the hands of all the people.

01:12.620 --> 01:15.660
So thou shalt put the evil away from among
you.

01:16.940 --> 01:21.600
If there arise a matter too hard for thee
in judgment, between blood and blood,

01:21.820 --> 01:26.860
between plea and plea, and between stroke
and stroke, being matters of controversy

01:26.860 --> 01:32.160
within thy gates, then shalt thou arise,
and get thee up into the place which the

01:32.160 --> 01:33.460
Lord thy God shall choose.

01:33.680 --> 01:38.240
And thou shalt come unto the priests,
the Levites, and unto the judge that shall

01:38.240 --> 01:40.240
be in those days, and inquire.

01:41.040 --> 01:45.800
And they shall show thee the sentence of
judgment, and thou shalt do according to

01:45.800 --> 01:49.840
the sentence which they of that place
which the Lord shall choose shall show

01:49.840 --> 01:50.060
thee.

01:50.060 --> 01:55.580
And thou shalt observe to do according to
all that they inform thee, according to

01:55.580 --> 01:59.480
the sentence of the law which they shall
teach thee, and according to the judgment

01:59.480 --> 02:02.120
which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do.

02:02.640 --> 02:07.600
Thou shalt not decline from the sentence
which they shall show thee, to the right

02:07.600 --> 02:09.160
hand or to the left.

02:09.960 --> 02:14.540
And the man that will do presumptuously,
and will not hearken unto the priest that

02:14.540 --> 02:19.780
standeth to minister there before the Lord
thy God, or unto the judge, even that man,

02:20.220 --> 02:23.500
shall die, and thou shalt put away the
evil from Israel.

02:23.920 --> 02:28.900
And all the people shall hear,
and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

02:30.280 --> 02:34.560
When thou art common to the land which the
Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt

02:34.560 --> 02:39.780
possess it, and shalt dwell therein,
and shalt say, I will set a king over me,

02:40.120 --> 02:46.280
like as all the nations that are about me,
thou shalt in any wise set him king over

02:46.280 --> 02:48.820
thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose.

02:49.520 --> 02:52.940
One from among thy brethren shalt thou set
king over thee.

02:53.320 --> 02:56.840
Thou mayest not set a stranger over thee,
which is not thy brother.

02:57.540 --> 03:01.700
But he shall not multiply horses to
himself, nor cause the people to return to

03:01.700 --> 03:04.760
Egypt, to the end that he should multiply
horses.

03:05.140 --> 03:10.460
For as much as the Lord hath said unto
you, ye shall henceforth return no more

03:10.460 --> 03:10.980
that way.

03:11.900 --> 03:16.440
Neither shall he multiply wives to
himself, that his heart turn not away.

03:17.060 --> 03:20.960
Neither shall he greatly multiply to
himself silver and gold.

03:21.280 --> 03:25.920
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the
throne of his kingdom, that he shall write

03:25.920 --> 03:30.000
him a copy of this law in a book,
out of that which is before the priests,

03:30.380 --> 03:30.940
the Levites.

03:31.740 --> 03:36.220
And it shall be with him, and he shall
read therein all the days of his life,

03:36.800 --> 03:41.620
that he may learn to fear the Lord his
God, to keep all the words of this law,

03:41.620 --> 03:43.400
and these statutes to do them.

03:44.320 --> 03:49.460
That his heart be not lifted up above his
brethren, and that he turn not aside from

03:49.460 --> 03:54.620
the commandment to the right hand or to
the left, to the end that he may prolong

03:54.620 --> 03:59.580
his days in his kingdom, he and his
children in the midst of Israel.
