Biblia Brzeska (1563)
A jesliżby kto uporniej w tym postępował, iżby kapłanowi, który tam będzie na służbie Pana, Boga twego, abo sędziemu posłusznym nie był, ten niechaj umrze. A tak odejmiesz ono złe z Izraela.
Biblia Gdańska (1632)
A jeźliby kto uczynił to z hardości, żeby nie chciał usłuchać kapłana tam postanowionego ku służbie przed Panem, Bogiem twoim, albo sędziego, niech umrze on mąż; i odejmiesz to złe z Izraela,
Nowe Przymierze Zaremba
A ten, kto by zuchwale, pomimo orzeczenia wydanego przez kapłana sprawującego tam służbę dla PANA, twojego Boga, lub orzeczenia sędziego, postąpił samowolnie, poniesie śmierć - i tak wyplenisz tę niegodziwość z Izraela.
Nowa Biblia Gdańska (2012)
Zaś kto by postąpił zuchwale i nie usłuchał kapłana, który jest tam postawiony ku służbie przed WIEKUISTYM, twoim Bogiem, lub sędziego ten człowiek niech umrze. Wyplenisz to zło z Israela,
Biblia Tysiąclecia
A jeźliby kto uczynił to z hardości, żeby nie chciał usłuchać kapłana tam postanowionego ku służbie przed Panem, Bogiem twoim, albo sędziego, niech umrze on mąż; i odejmiesz to złe z Izraela,
Uwspółcześniona Biblia Gdańska
A człowiek, który postąpi zuchwale i nie posłucha kapłana pełniącego tam służbę przed PANEM, twoim Bogiem, lub sędziego, poniesie śmierć. Tak usuniesz to zło z Izraela.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 12 And the man that will do presumptuously,.... The judge of the country court that makes his application to that at Jerusalem for information and direction; if, after all, he is conceited in his own opinion, and rejects theirs, and is obstinate, and will not be guided and directed, but will take his own way, and pursue his own sense of things, and act according to that:

and will not hearken to the priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God; the priests of the tribe of Levi, of whom the court generally consisted, Deuteronomy 17:9, priest for priests; though some think the high priest is meant, to whom the character very well agrees; but he was not always at the head of the sanhedrim, nor indeed a member of it, unless he had the proper qualifications; see Deuteronomy 18:18

or unto the judge; or judges; Deuteronomy 18:18- :. L'Empereur g thinks, that the supreme senate, or grand sanhedrim, was twofold, according to the diversity of ecclesiastic and political matters; since where it treats of the supreme senators, or chief persons in the court, the priest is manifestly distinguished from the judge (i.e. priests or judges); now the man that has asked advice of them, and will not be directed by it, but takes his own way, this being so great a contempt of, and insult upon, the great senate of the nation:

even that man shall die; and this was by strangling, for so the rebellious older, as such an one is called, was to die according to the Misnah h; and it is said i, that the death spoken of in the law absolutely (without specifying what kind of death) is strangling:

and thou shall put away the evil from Israel; the evil man that is rebellious against the supreme legislature of the nation, and the evil of contumacy he is guilty of, deterring others from it by his death.

g In Misn. Middoth, c. 5. sect. 3. h Sanhedrin, c. 10. sect. 2. i Maimon. Issure Biah, c. 1. sect. 6.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The cases in question are such as the inferior judges did not feel able to decide satisfactorily, and which accordingly they remitted to their superiors (compare Exodus 18:23-27).

The Supreme court Deuteronomy 17:9 is referred to in very general terms as sitting at the sanctuary Deuteronomy 17:8. “The judge” would no doubt usually be a layman, and thus the court would contain both an ecclesiastical and a civil element. Jehoshaphat 2 Chronicles 19:4-11 organized his judicial system very closely upon the lines here laid down.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 17:12. The man that will do presumptuously — The man who refused to abide by this final determination forfeited his life, as being then in a state of rebellion against the highest authority, and consequently the public could have no pledge for his conduct.
