1 "You shall not sacrifice to YHVH, your god, an ox or a sheep in which is a blemish, any defect whatever; for that is an abomination to YHVH, your god,
2 "If there is found among you, within any of your towns which YHVH, your god, gives you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of YHVH, your god, in transgressing his covenant,
3 and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of the heavens, which I have forbidden,
4 and it is told you and you hear of it; then you shall inquire diligently, and if it is true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done in Israel,
5 then you shall bring forth to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones.
6 On the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses he that is to die shall be put to death; a person shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness.
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.
8 "If any case arises requiring decision between one kind of homicide and another, one kind of legal right and another, or one kind of assault and another, any case within your towns which is too difficult for you, then you shall arise and go up to the place which YHVH, your god, will choose,
9 and coming to the Levitical priests, and to the judge who is in office in those days, you shall consult them, and they shall declare to you the decision.
10 Then you shall do according to what they declare to you from that place which YHVH will choose; and you shall be careful to do according to all that they direct you;
11 according to the instructions which they give you, and according to the decision which they pronounce to you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the verdict which they declare to you, either to the right hand or to the left.
12 The man who acts presumptuously, by not obeying the priest who stands to minister there before YHVH, your god, or the judge, that man shall die; so you shall purge the evil from Israel.
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and not act presumptuously again.
We frequently make judgments. And, for the most part, they take little time or thought. But, there are those judgments which are difficult and we are being told that we should leave those decisions up to our spiritual nature rather that our intellect will not "multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses..." "Neither shall he multiply wives to himself...(nor) silver and gold."
14 "When you come to the land which YHVH, your god, gives you, and you possess it and dwell in it, and then say, 'I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me';
15 you may indeed set as king over you him whom YHVH, your god, will choose. One from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
It then goes on to discuss the choice of a king to rule the nation once it is in the Promised Land. The king will be chosen by YHVH. The king here represents the acolyte on The Path. Even though progress is made, such a person is still subject to the laws of the land. He must guard against using his newly developing capabilities for material success, while ignoring the spiritual.
16 Only he must not multiply horses for himself, or cause the people to return to Egypt in order to multiply horses, since YHVH has said to you, 'You shall never return that way again.'
17 And he shall not multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply for himself silver and gold.
18 "And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, from that which is in the charge of the Levitical priests;
19 and it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear YHVH, his god, by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them;
20 that his heart may not be lifted up above his brethren, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, either to the right hand or to the left; so that he may continue long in his kingdom, he and his children, in Israel.
This may well be referring to the Akashic Records. It indicates the knowledge and wisdom which will be developed and revealed to the student as progress is made.
