1. An ox or sheep might have something wrong with it. Do not offer it as a sacrifice to the Lord your God. He would hate that.
2. A man or woman might be found doing something evil in one of the towns the Lord gave you. That man or woman is breaking his agreement.
3. That person may have served other gods. He may have bowed down to them, to the sun or moon or stars of the sky. I have commanded that should not be done.
4. If someone has told you about it, you must look into the matter. It might be true. A terrible thing may have happened in Israel.
5. If it is true, take the man or woman who has done the evil thing to the city gate. Throw stones at that person until he dies.
