Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ When any matter of judgment, shall be too difficult for thee––between blood and blood, between plea and plea, or between stroke and stroke, matters of contention within thy gates, then shalt thou arise and go up unto the place which Yahweh thy God, shall choose; ⁹ and shalt come in unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge, who shall be in those days,––and shalt enquire, and they shall declare unto thee, the sentence of judgment; ¹⁰ and thou shalt do according to the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, out of that place, which Yahweh, shall choose,––yea thou shalt observe to do according to all which they shall direct thee: ¹¹ according to the direction wherewith they direct thee, and after the judgment which they shall announce to thee, shalt thou do,––thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee to the right hand or to the left. ¹² And, the man who shall do presumptuously by not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there to Yahweh thy God, or unto the judge, that man, shall die, and so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel. ¹³ And, all the people, shall hear and fear,––and shall not act presumptuously any more.
¹⁴ When thou shalt enter into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, and shalt possess it and dwell therein,––and shalt say––I will set over me a king, like all the nations that are round about me, ¹⁵ thou shalt, set, over thee as king, him whom Yahweh thy God, shall choose,––out of the midst of thy brethren, shalt thou set over thee a king, thou mayest not appoint over thee a man that is a foreigner, who is, not thy brother.
