1 An ox or sheep might have something wrong with it. Do not offer it as a sacrifice to the Lord your God. He would hate that.
2 A man or woman might be found doing something evil in one of the towns the Lord gave you. That man or woman is breaking his agreement.
3 That person may have served other gods. He may have bowed down to them, to the sun or moon or stars of the sky. I have commanded that should not be done.
4 If someone has told you about it, you must look into the matter. It might be true. A terrible thing may have happened in Israel.
5 If it is true, take the man or woman who has done the evil thing to the city gate. Throw stones at that person until he dies.
