Verse 3 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.

und hingeht und dient andern Göttern und betet sie an, es sei Sonne oder Mond oder allerlei Heer des Himmels, was ich nicht geboten habe,
Que hubiere ido y servido a dioses ajenos, y se hubiere inclinado a ellos, ora al sol, o a la luna, o a todo el ejército del cielo, lo cual yo no he mandado;
y vaya a servir a otros dioses y se postre ante ellos, ante el sol, la luna o todo el ejército del cielo, cosa que yo no mandé,
allant après d'autres dieux pour les servir et se prosterner devant eux, après le soleil, la lune, ou toute l'armée des cieux. Ce n'est point là ce que j'ai commandé.
e che vada, e serva ad altri dii, e li adori; sia pure il sole, o la luna, o cosa alcuna di tutto l’esercito del cielo, il che io non ho comandato;
Que se for, e servir a outros deuses, e se encurvar a eles ou ao sol, ou à lua, ou a todo o exército do céu, o que eu não ordenei,
去事奉別神,敬拜它們,或拜太陽,或拜月亮,或拜天上的萬象,是我 不曾吩咐的。
