48 Shoph’tym – Day 2

D’varym/Deuteronomy 17:14-20

“When you come to the land which YHWH your Elohim is giving you, and shall possess it and shall dwell in it, and you shall say, ‘Let me set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,’ you shall certainly set a king over you whom YHWH your Elohim shall choose.

Set a king over you from among your brothers, you are not allowed to set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

“Only, he is not to increase horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Mitsrayim to increase horses, for YHWH has said to you, ‘Do not return that way again.’

“And he is not to increase wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor is he to greatly increase silver and gold for himself.

“And it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this Torah in a book, from the one before the priests, the Lewites.

“And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he learns to fear YHWH his Elohim and guard all the Words of this Torah and these laws, to do them, so that his heart is not lifted up above his brothers, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongs his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Yisra’el.
