Deuteronomy 17:1-7 - Examples Of Legal Cases
1 Never offer a bull or a sheep that has a defect or anything seriously wrong with it as a sacrifice to Jehovah your God. That is an abomination to him.
2 In one of the cities Jehovah your God is giving you, there may be a man or woman among you who is doing what Jehovah considers evil. This person may be disregarding the conditions of Jehovah's covenant. 3 Some worship and bow down to other gods, the sun, the moon, or the whole army of heaven. I have forbidden this. 4 If it is told you and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly. If it is true and the thing certain that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 Bring that man or woman who has done this evil deed out to your gates. Stone the man or the woman to death. 6 On the evidence and testimony of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. He shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness. 7 The witnesses must throw the first stone to put him to death, and afterward all the people. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
