towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the
eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his
covenant, and contrary to my command has
worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the
sun or the moon or the stars of the sky, and this has

Israel, take the man or woman who has done this evil
deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.
