Deuteronomy 17
17:1 Thou
shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God [any] bullock, or sheep, wherein is
a
blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that [is] an abomination unto the LORD
thy God.
(
a) You shall not serve God for selfish means as
the hypocrites do.
17:2 If there be found among you, within any of thy
gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or
b
woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in
transgressing his covenant,
(
b) Showing that the crime cannot be excused by
the frailty of the person.
17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and
worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I
have not
c commanded;
(
c) By which he condemns all religion and serving
of God which God has not commanded.
17:7
The hands of the
d witnesses shall be
first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the
e
people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
(
d) By which they declared that they testify the
truth.
(
e) To signify a common consent to maintain
God's honour and true religion.
17:9 And thou shalt come unto
the priests the Levites, and unto the
f
judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the
sentence of judgment:
(
f) Who will sentence as the priests counsel him
by the Law of God.
17:11 According to the
sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment
which they shall tell thee,
g thou shalt
do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, [to]
the right hand, nor [to] the left.
(
g) You shall obey their sentence that the
controversy may have an end.
17:12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and
will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to
h
minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall
die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
(
h) So long as he is the true minister of God,
and pronounces according to his word.
17:15
Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall
choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest
not set a
i stranger over thee, which
[is] not thy brother.
(
i) Who is not from your nation, lest he change
true religion into idolatry, and bring you to slavery.
17:16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself,
nor cause the people to return to
k
Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath
said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
(
k) To avenge their injuries and to take their
best horses from them; (
1 Kings
10:28).
17:17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself,
that his heart
l turn not away: neither
shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
(
l) From the Law of God.
17:18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the
throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this
m
law in a book out of [that which is] before the
n
priests the Levites:
(
m) Meaning, Deuteronomy.
(
n) He shall cause it to be written by them, or
he shall write it by their example.
17:20 That his heart be not
lifted up above his
o brethren, and that
he turn not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left:
to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his children,
in the midst of Israel.
(
o) By which is meant that kings should love
their subjects as nature causes one brother to love another.
