New Testament

Deuteronomy 21:20-23 God's Word Translation (GW)

20. They will say to the leaders of the city, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He won’t obey us. He eats too much and is a drunk.”

21. All the men of the city should stone him to death. You must get rid of this evil. When all Israel hears about it, they will be afraid.

22. When a convicted person is put to death,

23. never leave his dead body hung on a pole overnight. Be sure to bury him that same day, because anyone whose body is hung on a pole is cursed by God. The land that the Lord your God is giving you must never become unclean.
