4and if it is reported to you and you have heard about it, then you shall investigate thoroughly. And 17:4 Lit behold, trueif it is true and the report is trustworthy that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,

4and if it is told you and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly. Behold, if it is true and the thing certain that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,

4and if it is told to you and you hear about it, then you shall investigate thoroughly [all the charges]. If it is confirmed 17:4 Lit the word is certain.beyond doubt that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,

4and if it is reported and you hear about it, you must investigate it thoroughly.

If the report is true and such an abomination has happened in Israel,

4When you hear that people have done something like that, check the matter out carefully. If it’s true, an evil thing has been done in Israel. The Lord hates that.
