Old Testament

New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 21:19-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

19. then his father and his mother are to lay hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, to the gate of his city.

20. They shall say to the elders of his city, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not listen to us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”

21. Then all the men of his city must stone him with stones, until he dies. In this way you are to remove the evil from among you, and all Israel shall hear and fear.

22. If a man has committed a sin worthy of death and is executed, and you hang him on a tree,

23. then his body must not remain all night on the tree, but you must bury him that day (for he that is hanged is accursed of God) so that your land may not be defiled, which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.
