Deuteronomy 17:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 17:10

And thou shalt do according to the sentence which they of that
place which the Lord shall choose shall show thee
The judges of the inferior courts were to return and proceed on the difficult case according to the judgment of the great court at Jerusalem, and follow the directions and instructions they should give them:

and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee;
not only observe and take notice of what they say, but put it in practice, and not in some things and some circumstances only, but in all and everything they should give them information about relating to the case in question.

Deuteronomy 17:10 In-Context

8 If some legal dispute in your cities is too difficult for you to decide—say, between different kinds of bloodshed, different kinds of legal ruling, or different kinds of injury—then take it to the location the LORD your God selects.
9 Go to the levitical priests and to the head judge in office at that time and look into things there. They will announce to you the correct ruling.
10 You must then act according to the ruling they announced to you from that location, the one the LORD selects. You must follow very carefully everything they instruct you to do.
11 Act precisely according to the instruction they give you and the ruling they announce to you. Don't deviate even a bit from the word they announce.
12 And whoever acts rashly by not listening to the priest who is in office serving the LORD your God or to the head judge will die. Remove such evil from Israel!
