is
loaded with misfort we start off with
the commandment
to appoint judges and officers in every
city in eddis israel not like today with
the movement to defund the police god
commands us
for society to run you must have judges
and you must have offices
to enforce the law the torah also
commands us not to plant a tree
near the mizbayach or in the betamigdash
because that's what idol worshipers
would do
they would plant a tree by their church
in order to attract customers so we're
not allowed to emulate them
the torah also commands us
not to make an altar out of one
solid rock because
although in the times of the abort god
loved that
belt but after the time of the abort the
king
made that as a hook in their idol
worship to make an altar out of one
solid stone
so god commands us not to make such a
thing
the torah also commands not to sacrifice
an animal
that's blemished and the torah tells us
about the penalty
for someone who worships idols on
purpose when two witnesses warned him
not to
and he's executed by sekila
also teaches us that we could only
execute a person in between if two
witnesses
at least or three testify against him
and if they do sentence the man to death
the witnesses who testified on him
they're the first ones to kill him so if
he has to be thrown off a building
they're the ones who throw him off and
if he survives the fall they're the ones
who throw the rock
and if he still survives then everyone
else could throw a stone
and and get involved in the execution
the torah also commands us that if ever
get into an
argument then they have to bring it to
the bethin
and the betting has to reside in the
place
where god will choose to build his house
will be and that's where the betty
nagado sits and they are the final word
and the torah commands us to follow
their ruling
if a rabbi teaches and gives rulings
against the ruling of the betina gadol
the torah commands
us that he must be executed by hennik
