Deuteronomy 21:1
|
|
If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah
thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who
hath smitten him; |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 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: |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:3 |
|
and it shall be, that the city which is nearest
unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd,
which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:4 |
|
and the elders of that city shall bring down
the heifer unto a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown,
and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:5 |
|
And the priests the sons of Levi shall come
near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless
in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall every controversy and
every stroke be. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:6 |
|
And all the elders of that city, who are nearest
unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken
in the valley; |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:7 |
|
and they shall answer and say, Our hands have
not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:8 |
|
Forgive, O Jehovah, thy people Israel, whom
thou hast redeemed, and suffer not innocent blood to remain in the midst of thy
people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:9 |
|
So shalt thou put away the innocent blood from
the midst of thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah.
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:10 |
|
When thou goest forth to battle against thine
enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou carriest
them away captive, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:11 |
|
and seest among the captives a beautiful woman,
and thou hast a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:12 |
|
then thou shalt bring her home to thy house;
and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:13 |
|
and she shall put the raiment of her captivity
from off her, and shall remain in thy 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. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 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 deal with her as a slave, because thou hast humbled
her. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:15 |
|
If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and
the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated;
and if the first-born son be hers that was hated; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:16 |
|
then it shall be, in the day that he causeth
his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved
the first-born before the son of the hated, who is the first-born: |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:17 |
|
but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the
son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is
the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born is his. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:18 |
|
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son,
that will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though
they chasten him, will not hearken unto them; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 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; |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 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. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:21 |
|
And all the men of his city shall stone him
to death with stones: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee;
and all Israel shall hear, and fear. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:22 |
|
And if a man have committed a sin worthy of
death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree; |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 21:23 |
|
his body shall not remain all night upon the
tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is accursed
of God; that thou defile not thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an
inheritance. |
