Deuteronomy 17
|
 (17:1) "Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish,
or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God."
Don't sacrifice an animal with a blemish. It is an abomination to God.
(He's very picky about his bloody animal sacrifices!)
 (17:2-7) Kill everyone who has religious beliefs that are different from your own.
What the Bible says about stoning
(17:2) "If there be found among you ... man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,"
(17:3) "And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them,"
(17:4) "And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true,"
(17:5) "Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman ... and shalt stone them with stones, till they die."
(17:7) "The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you."
|
| 17:1
Thou shalt not
sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish,
or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
|
| 17:2
If there be found among
you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
man or
woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his
covenant,
|
| 17:3
And hath gone and
served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any
of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
|
| 17:4
And it be told thee,
and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true,
and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
|
| 17:5
Then shalt thou bring
forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing,
unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with
stones, till they die.
|
| 17:6
At 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.
|
| 17:7
The hands of the
witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the
hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
|
| 17:8
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and
blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters
of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into
the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; |
|
| 17:9
And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that
shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence
of judgment: |
|
| 17:10
And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place
which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do
according to all that they inform thee: |
|
| 17:11
According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and
according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou
shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right
hand, nor to the left. |
(17:12-13) Whoever refuses to listen to a priest or judge must be killed.
(17:12) "The man that ... will not hearken unto the priest ... or unto the judge, even that man shall die."
(17:13) "And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously."
|
| 17:12
And the man that
will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest
that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge,
even that man shall die:
and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
|
| 17:13
And all the people
shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
|
| 17:14
When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and
shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king
over me, like as all the nations that are about me; |
|
| 17:15
Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall
choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee:
thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. |
|
| 17:16
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to
return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the
LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. |
|
| 17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives
to himself, that his heart turn not away:
neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. |
 (17:17) "Neither shall he multiply wives to himself."
Is polygamy OK?
|
| 17:18
And it shall be, when he sitteth 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 Levites: |
|
| 17:19
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his
life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of
this law and these statutes, to do them: |
|
| 17:20
That 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 Israel. |
