Thou
shalt plant no grove of whatsoever trees it be, nye unto the altar
of the LORD thy God which thou shalt make thee. Thou shalt set
thee up no pillar, which the LORD thy God hateth.
Chapter .xvij.
Thou shalt offer unto the LORD thy God no ox or sheep wherein is
any deformity, whatsoever evil favouredness it be: for that is an
abomination unto the LORD thy God. If there be found among you in
any of thy cities which the LORD thy God giveth thee man or woman
that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God,
that they have gone beyond his appointment, so that they have gone
and served strange gods and worshipped them, whether it be the son
or moon or anything contained in heaven which I forbade, and it
was told thee and thou hast heard of it: Then thou shalt enqui:re
diligently. And if it be true and the thing of a surety that such
abomination is wrought in Israel, then thou shalt bring forth that
man or that woman which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy
gates and shalt stone them with stones and they shall die. At the
mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is worthy of death,
die: but at the mouth of one witness he shall not die. And the
hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to kill him, and
afterward the hands of all the people: so shalt thou put
wickedness away from thee.
