1. You shall not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox, or a sheep, in which is a defect, or anything evil; for that is an abomination to the Lord your God.
2. If there is found amongst you, within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you, a man or woman who does that which is evil in the Lord your God’s sight, in transgressing his covenant,
3. and has gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the stars of the sky, which I have not commanded;
4. and you are told, and you have heard of it, then you shall enquire diligently. Behold, if it is true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in Israel,
5. then you shall bring out that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even that same man or woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.
6. At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death. At the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
