21 “If someone slain is found in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you to take possession of it and is lying in the field, and it is not known who killed him,[fn] 2 then your elders and your judges shall go out and shall measure the distance to the cities that are around the slain one. 3 And then[fn] the nearest city to the slain one, the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd that has not been worked within the field, that has not pulled a yoke, 4 and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a wadi that flows with water all year[fn] andthat has not been plowed and has not been sown; then there they shall break the neck of the heifer in the wadi.[fn] 5 Then the priests, the descendants[fn] of Levi, shall come near, for Yahweh your God has chosen them to bless in the name of Yahweh, and every legal dispute and everycase of assault will be subject to their ruling.[fn] 6 And all of the elders of that city nearest to the slain person shall wash their hands over the heifer with the broken neck in the wadi.[fn] 7 And they shall declare, and they shall say, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, and our eyes did not see what was done. 8 Forgive your people, Israel, whom you redeemed, Yahweh, and do not allow[fn] the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel, and let them be forgivenwith regard to blood.’ 9 And so you shall purge the innocent blood from your midst, because you must do the right thing in the eyes of Yahweh.
10 “When you go out for battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God gives them into your hand, and you lead the captives[fn] away, 11 and you see among the captives[fn] a woman beautiful in appearance, and you become attached to her and you want to take her asa wife, 12 then you shall bring her into your household, and she shall shave her head, and she shall trim her nails. 13 And she shall remove the clothing of her captivity from her, and she shall remain in your house, and she shall mourn her father and her mother a full month,[fn] and after thisyou may have sex with her,[fn] and you may marry her, and she maybecome your wife.[fn] 14 And then if you do not take delight in her, then you shall let her go to do whatever she wants,[fn] but you shall not treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored[fn] her.
15 “If a man has two wives, and the one is loved and the other one is disliked and the one loved and the one that is disliked have borne for him sons, if it happens that the firstborn son belongs to the one that is disliked,[fn] 16 nevertheless it will be the case that[fn] on the day of bestowing his inheritance upon his sons, he will not be allowed to treat asthe firstborn son the son of the beloved wife in preference to[fn] the son of the dislikedwife, who is the firstborn son. 17 But he shall acknowledge the firstborn son of the disliked wife by giving[fn] him a double portion ofall that he has,[fn] for heis the firstfruit of his vigor;[fn] to himis the legal claim of the birthright.[fn]
18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son[fn]who does not listen to[fn] the voice of his father and to the voice of his mother, and they discipline him, and he does not obey[fn] them, 19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him, and they shall bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his town,[fn] 20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us,[fn]and he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ 21 Then all the men of his city shall stone him with stones and let him die; and so you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all of Israel will hear, and they will fear.
22 “And if a man commits a sin punishable by death,[fn] andso he is put to death and you hang him on a tree, 23 his dead body shall not hang on the tree, but certainly you shall bury him on that day, for cursed by God is one that is being hung; so you shall not defile your land[fn] that Yahweh your Godis giving to you as an inheritance.”
