Deuteronomy 17:7-9

New Life Version

⁷ Those who speak against him should be first to put him to death. And then all the people should join them. You must get rid of all sin from among you.

⁸ “There may be a problem too hard for you to decide, between two kinds of killing, between two kinds of questions about the law, between two kinds of hurting, problems argued about in your courts. Then get up and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses. ⁹ Go to the Levite religious leader or the judge who is at work at that time. Ask them, and they will tell you what they decide.
