2 If there be found * h4672 h8735 among * h7130 you, within any * h259 of thy gates * h8179 which the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 giveth * h5414 h8802 thee, man * h376 or woman * h802, that hath wrought * h6213 h8799 wickedness * h7451 in the sight * h5869 of the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430, in transgressing * h5674 h8800 his covenant * h1285,

4 And it be told * h5046 h8717 thee, and thou hast heard * h8085 h8804 of it , and enquired * h1875 h8804 diligently * h3190 h8687, and, behold, it be true * h571, and the thing * h1697 certain * h3559 h8737, that such abomination * h8441 is wrought * h6213 h8738 in Israel * h3478:

14 When thou art come * h935 h8799 unto the land * h776 which the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 giveth * h5414 h8802 thee, and shalt possess * h3423 h8804 it, and shalt dwell * h3427 h8804 therein, and shalt say * h559 h8804, I will set * h7760 h8799 a king * h4428 over me, like as all the nations * h1471 that are about * h5439 me;
15 Thou shalt in any wise * h7760 h8800 set * h7760 h8799 him king * h4428 over thee, whom the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 shall choose * h977 h8799: one from among * h7130 thy brethren * h251 shalt thou set * h7760 h8799 king * h4428 over thee: thou mayest * h3201 h8799 not set * h5414 h8800 a stranger * h5237 * h376 over thee, which is not thy brother * h251.
16 But he shall not multiply * h7235 h8686 horses * h5483 to himself, nor cause the people * h5971 to return * h7725 h8686 to Egypt * h4714, to the end that he should multiply * h7235 h8687 horses * h5483: forasmuch as the LORD * h3068 hath said * h559 h8804 unto you, Ye shall henceforth * h3254 h8686 return * h7725 h8800 no more that way * h1870.
