And you shall be careful to do according to all that they direct you. 11 According to the instructions that they give you, and according to the decision which they pronounce to you, you shall do. You shall not turn aside from the verdict that they declare to you, either to the right hand or to the left. 12 The man who (M)acts presumptuously by not obeying the priest (N)who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So (O)you shall purge the evil from Israel. 13 And all the people (P)shall hear and fear and not act presumptuously again.
