7 The witnesses must be the first to throw stones at the person. Then everyone else will follow. You must get rid of the evil among you.
8 Some cases that come before you may be too difficult to judge. It may be a case of murder, quarreling or attack. Take these cases to the place the Lord your God will choose.
9 Go to the priests who are Levites. And go to the judge who is on duty at that time. Ask them about the case, and they will decide.
10 You must follow the decision they give you. They will be at the place the Lord your God will choose. Be careful to do everything they tell you.
11 Follow the teachings they give you. Do whatever they decide. Do exactly what they tell you.
12 The person who does not show respect for the judge or priest must be put to death. They are there serving the Lord your God. You must get rid of that evil from Israel.
13 Then everyone will hear about this. And they will be afraid. They will not show disrespect anymore.
