 Rishon

  1. Appointing honest judges and police:
  • You shall appoint judges and police in all your cities. The judges are to judge righteously and may not take bribes, as bribes blinds the eyes of the wise. You shall pursue justice so that you live and inherit the land.

 

  1. Miscellaneous commandments:
  • Tree in Temple: You shall not plant a tree for idol worship, or any tree, near G-d’s altar.
  • Monument: You shall not build a Matzeiva, monument, which Hashem despises.
  • Karban with Mum: You shall not sacrifice a Karban that has a Mum, as this is an abomination for G-d.
  • Death penalty for idol worshipers: If you find a man or woman who is an idol worshiper, then you shall investigate the matter appropriately and if it is found to be true the person is to be killed. He is to be removed from your city and stoned to death.
  • Two witnesses: One may only be put to death if there are two witnesses to the crime. One may not accept testimony from one witness to kill a man. The witnesses are to be the first to kill the guilty one, and the remainder of the nation is to be last.
  • To listen to the words of the Beis Din Hagadol: If a certain matter of judgment in Torah law is beyond your understanding then you shall go to the area chosen by G-d, and address the issue to the priests and Levites and judges of those times and they will instruct you as to the ruling. You must obey their teachings and directives and not swerve to the right or left. One who does not obey them will be put to death.
