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 When matters of justice come up that are too much for you - hard cases regarding homicides, legal disputes, fights - take them up to the central place of worship that God, your God, has designated.
9 Bring them to the Levitical priests and the judge who is in office at the time. Consult them and they will hand down the decision for you.
10 Then carry out their verdict at the place designated by God, your God. Do what they tell you, in exactly the way they tell you.
11 Follow their instructions precisely: Don't leave out anything; don't add anything.
12 Anyone who presumes to override or twist the decision handed down by the priest or judge who was acting in the Presence of God, your God, is as good as dead - root him out, rid Israel of the evil.
