1No ox or sheep which has a mark on it or is damaged in any way may be offered to the Lord your God: for that is disgusting to the Lord your God.
2If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,
3By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;
4If word of this comes to your ears, then let this thing be looked into with care, and if there is no doubt that it is true, and such evil has been done in Israel;
5Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.
6On the word of two or three witnesses, a man may be given the punishment of death; but he is not to be put to death on the word of one witness.
7The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.
