¹²But the man who acts presumptuously, refusing to listen either to the priest who stands there to serve the LORD your God, or to the judge, must be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.¹³Then all the people will hear and be afraid, and will no longer behave arrogantly.

Summary

This verse instructs the Israelite judges to carry out the death penalty for those who rebel against the authority of the priests or judges in matters of law. It underscores the importance of respecting and upholding the divine order and authority established by God. The severity of the punishment serves as a deterrent against disobedience and rebellion within the community. Ultimately, this command reflects the seriousness of honoring God's appointed leaders and following His laws to maintain order and justice among His people.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And all the people shall hear, and fear,.... All the people of Israel in their own cities, and particularly the judges in those cities; they shall hear of what is done to the obstinate and disobedient elder, and shall be afraid to commit the like offence, lest they should come into the same punishment: and do no more presumptuously; after his example; hence, Jarchi says, they wait till the feast comes, and then put him to death; and so it is said (k), they bring him up to the great sanhedrim which is at Jerusalem, and there keep him until the feast (the next feast), and put him to death at the feast, as it is said: all the people shall hear, and fear. (k) Misn. Sanhedrin, c. 10. sect. 4.
