Deuteronomy 17:1-7

Deuteronomy 17:1-7 NCV

If an ox or sheep has something wrong with it, do not offer it as a sacrifice to the LORD your God. He would hate that. A man or woman in one of the towns the LORD gave you might be found doing something evil and breaking the Agreement. That person may have served other gods and bowed down to them or to the sun or moon or stars of the sky, which I have commanded should not be done. If someone has told you about it, you must look into the matter carefully. If it is true that such a hateful thing has happened in Israel, take the man or woman who has done the evil thing to the city gates and throw stones at that person until he dies. There must be two or three witnesses that it is true before the person is put to death; if there is only one witness, the person should not be put to death. The witnesses must be the first to throw stones at the person, and then everyone else will follow. You must get rid of the evil among you.
