כִּֽי־יִמָּצֵ֤א בְקִרְבְּךָ֙ בְּאַחַ֣ד שְׁעָרֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֣ן לָ֑ךְ אִ֣ישׁ אוֹ־אִשָּׁ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר יַעֲשֶׂ֧ה אֶת־הָרַ֛ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה־אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לַעֲבֹ֥ר בְּרִיתֽוֹ׃

Apabila di tengah-tengahmu, di salah satu kotamu yang diberikan Yang Mahakekal, Allahmu, kepadamu, terdapat seorang laki-laki atau perempuan yang melakukan apa yang jahat di mata Yang Mahakekal, Allahmu, dengan melanggar perjanjian-Nya,

Mishneh Torah, Foreign Worship and Customs of the Nations

None of the cities of escape is adjudged a seduced city, as it is said: "Within any of thy gates" (Deut. 17.2); nor is Jerusalem adjudged a seduced city as it was not divided among the tribes. A buffer city must not be adjudged a seduced city, lest the idolaters enter through it and destroy Eretz Ysrael. A single tribunal should not adjudge three cities, one alongside the other, seduced cities, but if they be far apart it may be done.6Sifre, Deut. 17; Sanhedrin, 2a; Ibid. 16a-b; Baba Kamma, 72a C.G.
