2aIf there is found in your midst, in any of your
Lit gates
towns which the Lord your God is giving you, a man or a woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, by violating His covenant,
3and that person has gone and cserved other gods and worshiped them, dor the sun, the moon, or any of the heavenly
Lit host
lights, fwhich I have commanded not to do,
4and if it is reported to you and you have heard about it, then you shall investigate thoroughly. And
Lit behold, true
if it is true and the report is trustworthy that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,
5then you are to bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil deed, that is, the man or the woman, and hyou shall stone them to
Lit death with stones
death.
6 jOn the
Lit mouth
testimony of two witnesses or three witnesses, the
Lit one dying
condemned shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the
Lit mouth
testimony of only one witness.
7 nThe hands of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. oSo you shall eliminate the evil from your midst.
