DE-21:1 If [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:
DE-21:2 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and
they shall measure unto the cities which [are] round about him
that is slain:
DE-21:3 And 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;
DE-21:4 And 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:
DE-21:5 And 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]:
DE-21:6 And 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:
DE-21:7 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed
this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].
DE-21:8 Be 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.
DE-21:9 So 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.
DE-21:10 When 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,
DE-21:11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and
hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
DE-21:12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she
shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
DE-21:13 And 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.
DE-21:14 And 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.
DE-21:15 If 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:
DE-21:16 Then 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:
DE-21:17 But 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.
DE-21:18 If 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:
DE-21:19 Then 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;
DE-21:20 And 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.
DE-21:21 And 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.
DE-21:22 And 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:
DE-21:23 His 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.
