Deuteronomy 17:1-5 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. YOU SHALL not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or sheep with a blemish or any defect whatsoever, for that is an abomination to the Lord your God.

2. If there is found among you within any of your towns which the Lord your God gives you a man or woman who does what is wicked in the sight of the Lord your God by transgressing His covenant,

3. Who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or moon or any of the host of the heavens, which I have forbidden,

4. And it is told and you hear of it, then inquire diligently. And if it is certainly true that such an abomination has been committed in Israel,

5. Then you shall bring forth to your town's gates that man or woman who has done that wicked thing and you shall stone that man or woman to death.
