2 If within any of the Gates which the Lord thy God giveth thee, there be found either man or woman that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the Lord the God, by transgressing his Covenant, 3 And hath gone and served strange gods, and bowed himself before them, whether it be the sun, or the moon, or any of all the host of heaven, which I have not commanded, 4 And it is told thee, and thou hast heard of it: then shalt thou inquire diligently. And if it be true and certain that such abomination hath been committed in Israel: 5 Thou shalt cause, that man or that woman which hath committed that wicked deed, to be brought out of the gates, and thou shalt stone them with stones, till they die. 6 At the mouth of two or three witnesses, let him that is worthy of death, dye: but at the mouth of one witness, let no man dye. 7 The hands of the witnesses shall be the first upon him to kill him, and afterward the hands of all the people. And so thou shalt rid away that evil from thee.
