*
When there shall be found in thy midst ,
within any of thy gates ,
which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee ,
man or woman who doeth the thing which is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh thy God by transgressing his covenant ;
*
yea hath gone ,
and served other gods ,
and bowed down unto them ,
whether unto the sun or unto the moon or unto any of the host of the heavens which I have not commanded ;
*
and it shall be told thee and thou shalt hear ,
and shalt enquire diligently ,
and lo !
truecertain ,
is the report ,
this abominable thing hath been done in Israel ,
*
then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman who hath done this wicked thing ,
within thy gatesthe man ,
or the woman ,
and shalt stone them with stones that they die .
*
At the mouth of two witnesses or three witnesses ,
shall he that is to die be put to death ,
he shall not be put to death at the mouth of one witness .
*
The hand of the witnesses ,
shall be upon him first to put him to death ,
and the hand of all the people ,
afterwards ,
so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst .
