Verse 1 is found in chapter 17 of Deuteronomy. Defective sacrifices are rejected, and cases of idolatry must be investigated through a procedure involving multiple witnesses. The penalty for apostasy is established only after judicial verification. The text combines cultic requirements with due process, preventing a single accusation from being sufficient to execute a serious sentence.
