Deuteronomy 17
Deuteronomy 17:1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock, or
sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evil favouredness: for that is an abomination
unto the Lord thy God.
2 If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God
giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord
thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or
moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
4 And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and,
behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in
Israel:
5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have
committed that
wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them
with stones, till they die.
6 At the mouth of two
witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of
death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall
not be put to
death.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and
afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from
among you.
8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and
blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of
controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the
place which the Lord thy God shall choose;
9 And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that
shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of
judgment:
10 And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which
the Lord shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to
all that they inform thee:
11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and
according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt
not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor
to the left.
12 And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest
that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God, or unto the judge, even
that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
14 When thou art come unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, and
shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over
me, like as all the nations that are about me;
15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall
choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest
not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
16 But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return
to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord hath
said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away:
neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he
shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the
priests the Levites:
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life:
that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law
and these statutes, to do them:
20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not
aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that
he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of
Israel.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)

his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
