Deuteronomy 21
21If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:H4672H2491H127H3068H430H5414H3423H5307H7704H3045H52212Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:H2205H8199H3318H4058H5892H5439H24913And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;H5892H7138H2491H2205H5892H3947H1241H5697H5647H4900H59234And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:H2205H5892H3381H5697H386H5158H5647H2232H6202H5697H6202H51585And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:H3548H1121H3878H5066H3068H430H977H8334H1288H8034H3068H6310H7379H50616And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:H2205H5892H7138H2491H7364H3027H5697H6202H51587And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.H6030H559H3027H8210H1818H5869H72008Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.H3722H3068H5971H3478H6299H5414H5355H1818H5971H3478H7130H1818H37229So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.H1197H5355H1818H7130H6213H3477H5869H306810When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,H3318H4421H341H3068H430H5414H3027H7617H762811And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;H7200H7633H8389H3303H802H2836H3947H80212Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;H935H8432H1004H1548H7218H6213H685613And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.H5493H8071H7628H3427H1004H1058H1H517H3117H3391H310H935H1166H80214And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.H2654H7971H5315H4376H4376H3701H6014H834H603115If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:H376H8147H802H259H157H259H8130H3205H1121H157H8130H1060H1121H814616Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:H3117H1121H5157H3201H1121H157H1069H6440H1121H8130H106017But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.H5234H1121H8130H1060H5414H8147H6310H4672H7225H202H4941H106218If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:H376H5637H4784H1121H8085H6963H1H6963H517H3256H808519Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;H1H517H8610H3318H2205H5892H8179H472520And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.H559H2205H5892H1121H5637H4784H8085H6963H2151H543321And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.H582H5892H7275H68H4191H1197H7451H1197H7130H3478H8085H337222And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:H376H2399H4941H4194H4191H8518H608623His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.H5038H3885H6086H6912H6912H3117H8518H7045H430H127H2930H3068H430H5414H5159
