⁹ Go to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who is ·on duty at that time [in office in those days]. ·Ask them about the case [Make inquiry], and they will decide. ¹⁰ You must follow the decision they give you at the place the Lord your God will choose. Be careful to do everything they ·tell [^Lteach] you. ¹¹ Follow the ·teachings [laws; instructions] they give you, and do whatever they decide, ·exactly as they tell you [^Lyou must not turn aside from the thing they tell you to the right or to the left].
