1 “Do not sacrifice to the Lord your God cattle or sheep that have any defects; the Lord hates this.
2 “Suppose you hear that in one of your towns some man or woman has sinned against the Lord and broken his covenant
3 by worshipping and serving other gods or the sun or the moon or the stars, contrary to the Lord's command.
4 If you hear such a report, then investigate it thoroughly. If it is true that this evil thing has happened in Israel,
5 then take that person outside the town and stone him to death.
