## Deuteronomy 17:4-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 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:
 
 [5 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/17/5) Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, *even* that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/17/6) At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; *but* at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/17/7) The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/17/8) ¶ If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, *being* matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
 
[Deuteronomy 16](/kjv/deuteronomy/16) [Deuteronomy 18](/kjv/deuteronomy/18)
