Deuteronomy 17:8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸ “^(A)If a case is too difficult for you to decide, between ^[a]one kind of homicide or another, between ^[b]one kind of lawsuit or another, and between ^[c]one kind of assault or another, that are cases of dispute in your ^[d]courts, then you shall arise and go up to ^(B)the place which the Lord your God chooses. ⁹ So you shall come to ^(C)the Levitical priests or the judge who is in office in those days, and you shall inquire of them and they will declare to you the ^[e]verdict. ¹⁰ Then you shall act in accordance with the ^[f]terms of the verdict which they declare to you from that place which the Lord chooses; and you shall be careful to act in accordance with everything that they instruct you to do.
