Deuteronomy 17
17
1youi shall not sacrifice unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [any] bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, [or] anything wrong with it: for that [is] an abomination unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
2If there be found among you, within any of youri gates which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gives youi, man or woman, that has wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], in transgressing his covenant,
3And has gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the army of heaven, which I have not commanded;
4And it be told youi, and youi have heard [of it], and enquired diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]:
5Then shall youi bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto youi gates, [even] that man or that woman, and shall stone them with stones, till they die.
6At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
7The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So youi shall put the evil away from among you.
8If there arise a matter too hard for youi in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, [being] matters of controversy within youi gates: then shall youi arise, and get youi up into the place which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall choose;
9And youi shall come unto the priests the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall show youi the sentence of judgment:
10And youi shall do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall choose shall show youi; and youi shall observe to do according to all that they inform youi:
11According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach youi, and according to the judgment which they shall tell youi, youi shall do: youi shall not decline from the sentence which they shall show youi, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.
12And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that stands to minister there before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and youi shall put away the evil from Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
13And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14When youi are come unto the land which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gives youi, and shall possess it, and shall dwell in it, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;
15youi shall in any wise set [him] king over youi, whom the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall choose: [one] from among youi brethren shall youi set king over youi: youi may not set a stranger over youi, which [is] not youi brother.
16But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has said unto you, You2f shall from this time forth (from now on) return no more that way.
17Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]:
19And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
20That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
