If a matter be too hard for thee in
judgement between blood and blood, plea and plea, plage and plage
in matters of strife within thy cities: Then arise and get thee up
unto the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen, and go unto the
priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those
days, and ask, and they shall shew thee how to judge. And see that
thou do according to that which they of that place(which the LORD
hath chosen shew thee, and see that thou observe to do according
to all that they inform thee. According to the law which they
teach thee and manner of judgement which they tell thee, see that
thou do and that thou bow not from that which they shew thee,
neither to the right hand nor to the left. And that man that will
do presumptuously, so that he will not hearken unto the priest
that stondeth there to minister unto the LORD thy God or unto the
judge, shall die: and so thou shalt put away evil from Israel. And
all the people shall hear and shall fear, and shall do no more
presumptuously. When thou art come unto the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee and enjoyest it and dwellest therein: If thou
shalt say, I will set a king over me, like unto all the nations
that are about me: Then thou shalt make him king over thee, whom
the LORD thy God shall choose.
