Deuteronomy 17:10-12 -

This sentence, being founded on the Law, the suitors were to accept and implicitly obey. If any through pride or arrogance should refuse to accept the interpretation of the Law given by the priests, or to submit to the sentence pronounced by the judge, he was to be regarded as a rebel against God, and to be put to death, that others might be deterred from the like presumption ( Deuteronomy 13:11 ). The sentence, which they of that place which the Lord shall choose shall show thee ; rather, which they shall declare to thee from that place which the Lord shall choose . According to the sentence of the law ; literally, according to the mouth of the Law ; i . e . according as the Law prescribes, according to the purport of the statute.
