1 If someone is found slain in the land which YHWH your God gives you to possess, lying in the field, and it isn’t known who has struck him, Deuteronomy 21:1WEB
2 then your elders and your judges shall come out, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain. Deuteronomy 21:2WEB
3 It shall be that the elders of the city which is nearest to the slain man shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn’t been worked with and which has not drawn in the yoke. Deuteronomy 21:3WEB
4 The elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley. Deuteronomy 21:4WEB
5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near, for them YHWH your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in YHWH’s name; and according to their word shall every controversy and every assault be decided. Deuteronomy 21:5WEB
6 All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley. Deuteronomy 21:6WEB
7 They shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. Deuteronomy 21:7WEB
8 Forgive, YHWH, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don’t allow innocent blood among your people Israel.” The blood shall be forgiven them. Deuteronomy 21:8WEB
9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from among you, when you shall do that which is right in YHWH’s eyes. Deuteronomy 21:9WEB
10 When you go out to battle against your enemies, and YHWH your God delivers them into your hands and you carry them away captive, Deuteronomy 21:10WEB
11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her, and desire to take her as your wife, Deuteronomy 21:11WEB
12 then you shall bring her home to your house. She shall shave her head and trim her nails. Deuteronomy 21:12WEB
13 She shall take off the clothing of her captivity, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month. After that you shall go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife. Deuteronomy 21:13WEB
14 It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she desires; but you shall not sell her at all for money. You shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her. Deuteronomy 21:14WEB
15 If a man has two wives, the one beloved and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated, and if the firstborn son is hers who was hated, Deuteronomy 21:15WEB
16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not give the son of the beloved the rights of the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn; Deuteronomy 21:16WEB
17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength. The right of the firstborn is his. Deuteronomy 21:17WEB
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not listen to them, Deuteronomy 21:18WEB
19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place. Deuteronomy 21:19WEB
20 They shall tell 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 21:20WEB
21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall remove the evil from among you. All Israel shall hear, and fear. Deuteronomy 21:21WEB
22 If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, Deuteronomy 21:22WEB
23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which YHWH your God gives you for an inheritance. Deuteronomy 21:23WEB
