If in the land that the Lord your God gives you for a possession, there will be found the slain lying on the field, and it is not known who killed him, |
| 2
|
Then let your elders and your judges go out and measure [the distance] to the cities that are around the slain; |
| 3
|
And the elders of the city of the one closest to the slain, let them take the heifer that they did not work on, [and] which did not carry the yoke, |
| 4
|
And let the elders of that city take this heifer to a wild valley, which is not designed and sown, and they will slaughter the heifer there in the valley; |
| 5
|
And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come; |
| 6th
|
And all the elders of the city that are nearest to the slain shall wash their hands over the head of the heifer slaughtered in the valley, |
| 7th
|
And they will declare and say: Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen; |
| 8
|
Cleanse thy people Israel, which thou hast redeemed, O LORD, and lay not innocent blood upon thy people Israel. And they will be cleansed of blood. |
| 9
|
[So] should you wash away the innocent blood in yourselves, if you want to do [good and] just in the eyes of the Lord.
|
| 10
|
When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God will deliver them into your hands, and take them captive, |
| eleven
|
And you will see between the captives a woman, a beautiful sight, and you will love her, and you will want to take her to your wife, |
| 12
|
Then bring her into your house, and let her shave her head and cut off her nails, |
| 13
|
And he will take off his captivity from himself, and dwell in your house, and mourns for his father and his mother for a month; And after that you can enter into her and become her husband, and she will be your wife; |
| 14
|
If she does not please you, then let her go where she wants, but do not sell her for money and do not turn her into slavery, because you humbled her.
|
| 15
|
If anyone has two wives - one beloved, and the other unloved, and as a beloved, [so] the unloved will give him sons, and the first-born son will be unloved - |
| 16
|
Then, when dividing his own possessions to his sons, he can not give the son of his beloved wife a primacy to the firstborn son of the unloved; |
| 17th
|
But the first-born must recognize a son unloved [and] give him a double portion of all that he has, because he is the firstfruits of his power, he [owns] the right of the birthright.
|
| 18
|
If anyone has a son who is violent and disobedient, disobedient to the voice of his father and the voice of his mother, and they punished him, but he does not listen to them, - |
| 19
|
Then his father and his mother shall take him and lead him to the elders of his city and to the gate of his residence |
| 20
|
And they will say to the elders of their city, `This is our son who is stormy and rebellious, he does not listen to our words, he is a drunkard and a drunkard '; |
| 21
|
Then all the inhabitants of his city shall stone him to death; And thou shalt destroy the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and fear. |
| 22
|
If anyone has a crime worthy of death, and he will be put to death, and you hang him on a tree, |
| 23
|
Then his body should not sleep on a tree, but bury him on the same day, for cursed before God is [every] hanged [in the tree], and do not defile your land, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance. |
