1 # If one be found <04672> (8735) slain <02491> in the land <0127> which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee to possess <03423> (8800) it, lying <05307> (8802) in the field <07704>, and it be not known <03045> (8738) who hath slain <05221> (8689) him:
2 Then thy elders <02205> and thy judges <08199> (8802) shall come forth <03318> (8804), and they shall measure <04058> (8804) unto the cities <05892> which are round about <05439> him that is slain <02491>:
3 And it shall be, that the city <05892> which is next <07138> unto the slain man <02491>, even the elders <02205> of that city <05892> shall take <03947> (8804) an heifer <01241> <05697>, which hath not been wrought with <05647> (8795), and which hath not drawn <04900> (8804) in the yoke <05923>;
4 And the elders <02205> of that city <05892> shall bring down <03381> (8689) the heifer <05697> unto a rough <0386> valley <05158>, which is neither eared <05647> (8735) nor sown <02232> (8735), and shall strike off <06202> <00> the heifer's <05697> neck <06202> (8804) there in the valley <05158>:
5 And the priests <03548> the sons <01121> of Levi <03878> shall come near <05066> (8738); for them the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath chosen <0977> (8804) to minister <08334> (8763) unto him, and to bless <01288> (8763) in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>; and by their word <06310> shall every controversy <07379> and every stroke <05061> be tried:
6 And all the elders <02205> of that city <05892>, that are next <07138> unto the slain <02491> man, shall wash <07364> (8799) their hands <03027> over the heifer <05697> that is beheaded <06202> (8803) in the valley <05158> :
7 And they shall answer <06030> (8804) and say <0559> (8804), Our hands <03027> have not shed <08210> (8804) this blood <01818>, neither have our eyes <05869> seen <07200> (8804) it.
8 Be merciful <03722> (8761), O LORD <03068>, unto thy people <05971> Israel <03478>, whom thou hast redeemed <06299> (8804), and lay <05414> (8799) not innocent <05355> blood <01818> unto thy people <05971> of Israel's <03478> charge <07130>. And the blood <01818> shall be forgiven <03722> (8694) them.
9 So shalt thou put away <01197> (8762) the guilt of innocent <05355> blood <01818> from among <07130> you, when thou shalt do <06213> (8799) that which is right <03477> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>.
10 # When thou goest forth <03318> (8799) to war <04421> against thine enemies <0341> (8802), and the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> hath delivered <05414> (8804) them into thine hands <03027>, and thou hast taken <07617> (8804) them captive <07628>,
11 And seest <07200> (8804) among the captives <07633> a beautiful <08389> <03303> woman <0802>, and hast a desire <02836> (8804) unto her, that thou wouldest have her <03947> (8804) to thy wife <0802>;
12 Then thou shalt bring <0935> (8689) her home <08432> to thine house <01004>; and she shall shave <01548> (8765) her head <07218>, and pare <06213> (8804) her nails <06856>;
13 And she shall put <05493> (8689) the raiment <08071> of her captivity <07628> from off her, and shall remain <03427> (8804) in thine house <01004>, and bewail <01058> (8804) her father <01> and her mother <0517> a full <03117> month <03391>: and after <0310> that thou shalt go <0935> (8799) in unto her, and be her husband <01166> (8804), and she shall be thy wife <0802>.
14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight <02654> (8804) in her, then thou shalt let her go <07971> (8765) whither she will <05315>; but thou shalt not sell <04376> (8799) her at all <04376> (8800) for money <03701>, thou shalt not make merchandise <06014> (8691) of her, because <0834> thou hast humbled <06031> (8765) her.
15 # If a man <0376> have two <08147> wives <0802>, one <0259> beloved <0157> (8803), and another <0259> hated <08130> (8803), and they have born <03205> (8804) him children <01121>, both the beloved <0157> (8803) and the hated <08130> (8803); and if the firstborn <01060> son <01121> be hers that was hated <08146>:
16 Then it shall be, when <03117> he maketh his sons <01121> to inherit <05157> (8687) that which he hath, that he may <03201> (8799) not make the son <01121> of the beloved <0157> (8803) firstborn <01069> (8763) before <06440> the son <01121> of the hated <08130> (8803), which is indeed the firstborn <01060>:
17 But he shall acknowledge <05234> (8686) the son <01121> of the hated <08130> (8803) for the firstborn <01060>, by giving <05414> (8800) him a double <08147> portion <06310> of all that he hath <04672> (8735): for he is the beginning <07225> of his strength <0202>; the right <04941> of the firstborn <01062> is his.
18 # If a man <0376> have a stubborn <05637> (8802) and rebellious <04784> (8802) son <01121>, which will not obey <08085> (8802) the voice <06963> of his father <01>, or the voice <06963> of his mother <0517>, and that , when they have chastened <03256> (8765) him, will not hearken <08085> (8799) unto them:
19 Then shall his father <01> and his mother <0517> lay hold <08610> (8804) on him, and bring him out <03318> (8689) unto the elders <02205> of his city <05892>, and unto the gate <08179> of his place <04725>;
20 And they shall say <0559> (8804) unto the elders <02205> of his city <05892>, This our son <01121> is stubborn <05637> (8802) and rebellious <04784> (8802), he will not obey <08085> (8802) our voice <06963>; he is a glutton <02151> (8802), and a drunkard <05433> (8802).
21 And all the men <0582> of his city <05892> shall stone <07275> (8804) him with stones <068>, that he die <04191> (8804): so shalt thou put <01197> <00> evil <07451> away <01197> (8765) from among <07130> you; and all Israel <03478> shall hear <08085> (8799), and fear <03372> (8799).
22 And if a man <0376> have committed a sin <02399> worthy of <04941> death <04194>, and he be to be put to death <04191> (8717), and thou hang <08518> (8804) him on a tree <06086>:
23 His body <05038> shall not remain all night <03885> (8799) upon the tree <06086>, but thou shalt in any wise <06912> (8800) bury <06912> (8799) him that day <03117>; (for he that is hanged <08518> (8803) is accursed <07045> of God <0430>;) that thy land <0127> be not defiled <02930> (8762), which the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> giveth <05414> (8802) thee for an inheritance <05159>.
