  • Deut 17:2-7 : 2 If a man or woman in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you is found to have committed an evil act in the sight of the LORD your God, violating His covenant, 3 and they go and worship other gods, bowing down to them, or to the sun, the moon, or the stars in the sky, which I have not commanded, 4 and you are told about it and hear of it, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and confirmed that such a detestable act has been done in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has committed this evil deed out to your city gates and stone that person to death. 6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses, the person will be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 7 The hands of the witnesses must be the first to put the person to death, and then the hands of all the people. You must purge the evil from among you.
