DEUTERONOMY 17:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.”
As for anyone who presumes to disobey the priest appointed to minister there to the LORD your God, or the judge — such a person shall die; so you shall purge the evil from Israel — contempt for the central authority's ruling is treated as capital rebellion, protecting the unified legal system from anarchic rejection.
