The Sons of Israel Said, Behold, We Perish

You shall not sacrifice to the lord your god an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever. A person shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness. The man who acts presumptuously by not obeying the priest who stands to minister there will die. You may not put a foreigner over you who is not your brother. Only he must not multiply horses for himself, or cause the people to go to egypt. And when he sits on the throne his heart should never turn away from silver and gold. So you shall purge the evil from the midst of you. Deuteronomy chapter 17, chapter 18.
