Deuteronomy 17:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

^16 (A)Moreover, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor shall he ^(B)cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, since ^(C)the Lord has said to you, ‘You shall never again return that way.’ ^17 (D)He shall not multiply wives for himself, ^[a]or else his heart will turn away; nor shall he greatly increase silver and gold for himself.

¹⁸ “Now it shall come about when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself a copy of this law on a scroll ^[b](E)in the presence of the Levitical priests.
