'Verdict' in the Bible
You will go to the Levitical priests and the judge in office in those days and seek a solution; they will render a verdict.
You must do what you are instructed, and the verdict they pronounce to you, without fail. Do not deviate right or left from what they tell you.
The person who pays no attention to the priest currently serving the Lord your God there, or to the verdict -- that person must die, so that you may purge evil from Israel.
Then the Levitical priests will approach (for the Lord your God has chosen them to serve him and to pronounce blessings in his name, and to decide every judicial verdict)
The divine verdict is in the words of the king, his pronouncements must not act treacherously against justice.
Then the officials and all the people rendered their verdict to the priests and the prophets. They said, "This man should not be condemned to die. For he has spoken to us under the authority of the Lord our God."
What is your verdict?" They answered, "He is guilty and deserves death."
You have heard the blasphemy! What is your verdict?" They all condemned him as deserving death.
