3 who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either athe sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, bwhich I have not commanded,  
4 aand it is told you, and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an1 abomination has been committed in Israel,  
5 then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has committed that wicked thing, and ashall stone bto death that man or woman with stones.

8 a“If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the bplace which the Lord your God chooses.  
9 And ayou shall come to the priests, the Levites, and bto the judge there in those days, and inquire of them; cthey shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment.
