“When he is seated on his royal throne, he shall have a copy of this ‘Torah’ written for him on a scroll by the levitical priests. Let it remain with him and let him read it all his life, so that he may learn to revere his Eternal God, to observe faithfully every word of this ‘Torah’ as well as these laws. Thus he will not act haughtily toward his fellows or deviate from the ‘Torah’ to the right or to the left” Deuteronomy 17:18-20
