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.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 17 of Deuteronomy. When a judicial case is too difficult for local courts, it must be taken to the place God chooses and resolved according to the decision of the priests and judge. The structure seeks to preserve a consistent interpretation of the law throughout the nation. Deliberate contempt for the judicial decision is considered a threat to communal order.

Und wo jemand vermessen handeln würde, daß er dem Priester nicht gehorchte, der daselbst in des HERRN, deines Gottes, Amt steht, oder dem Richter, der soll sterben, und sollst das Böse aus Israel tun,
Y el hombre que procediere con soberbia, no obedeciendo al sacerdote que está para ministrar allí delante de Jehová tu Dios, o al juez, el tal varón morirá: y quitarás el mal de Israel.
L'homme qui, par orgueil, n'écoutera pas le sacrificateur placé là pour servir l'Eternel, ton Dieu, ou qui n'écoutera pas le juge, cet homme sera puni de mort. Tu ôteras ainsi le mal du milieu d'Israël,
E se alcuno procede superbamente, per non ubbidire al Sacerdote, che sarà in ufficio per ministrare in quel luogo al Signore Iddio tuo, e al Giudice, muoia quell’uomo; e togli via il male d’Israele;
O homem, pois, que se houver soberbamente, não dando ouvidos ao sacerdote, que está ali para servir ao SENHOR teu Deus, nem ao juiz, esse homem morrerá; e tirarás o mal de Israel;
若有人擅自行事,不聽從那侍立在耶和華-你上帝那裏事奉的祭司,或不聽從審判官,那人就要處死。這樣,你就把惡從 以色列 中除掉。
