Deuteronomy 17 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Courts of Law
8 If thou perceive that the judgment with thee be hard and doubtful between blood and blood, cause and cause, leprosy and leprosy: and thou see that the words of the judges within thy gates do vary: arise, and go up to the place, which our Lord thy God shall choose.
9 And thou shalt come to the Priests of the Levitical stock, and to the judge, that shall be at that time: and thou shalt ask of them, who shall shew thee the truth of the judgment.
10 And thou shalt do whatsoever they, that are presidents of the place which our Lord shall choose, shall say and teach thee,
11 according to his law; and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand nor to the left hand.
12 But he that shall be proud, refusing to obey the commandment of the Priest, which at that time ministereth to our Lord thy God, and the decree of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away the evil out of Israel:
13 and the whole people hearing shall fear, that none afterward swell in pride.
