## Deuteronomy 17:1 in Context (Verses 1–4 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/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.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/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,
 
 [3 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/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;
 
 [4 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/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:
