Two or three witnesses are required before Israel executes anyone for hidden idolatry, and a future king is told what he may not accumulate: horses, wives, silver, and gold.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep In which is a defect or anything evil
If there is found amongst you a man or woman Who does that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight In transgressing his covenant and has gone and served other gods And worshipped them or the sun or the moon
Or any of the stars of the sky which I have not commanded And you are told and you have heard of it Then you shall enquire diligently
When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you And possess it and dwell in it And say I will set a king over me Like all the nations that are around me
You shall surely set him whom the LORD your God chooses As king over yourselves You shall set as king over you one from amongst your brothers You may not put a foreigner over you Who is not your brother
Only he shall not multiply horses to himself Nor cause the people to return to Egypt To the end that he may multiply horses Because the LORD has said to you You shall not go back that way again
He shall not multiply wives to himself That his heart not turn away He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold
It shall be when he sits on the throne of his kingdom That he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book Out of that which is before the Levitical priests
It shall be with him And he shall read from it all the days of his life That he may learn to fear the LORD his God To keep all the words of this law and these statutes To do them
