21 Suppose that while you are living in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you to inherit, you find the body of a person that someone murdered. If you do not know who killed that person because it was in a field, 2 your elders and judges must go out to where someone found the body and measure the distance from there to each of the nearby towns. 3 Then the elders in the closest town must select a cow that has not had a baby and has never pulled with a yoke, that is, she has never done any work. 4 They must take it to a place near a stream where the ground has never been plowed or planted. There they must break its neck. 5 The priests must go there also, because Yahweh our God has chosen them from the tribe of Levi to serve him and to be his representatives when they bless people. And he has also chosen them to settle disputes involving injuries. 6 The elders from the closest town to the body must wash their hands over the young cow whose neck they break, there in the valley. 7 They must say, ‘We did not murder this person, and we did not see who did it. 8 Yahweh, forgive us, your Israelite people whom you rescued from Egypt. Do not consider us guilty for murdering an innocent person.’ When they do this, Yahweh will forgive the Israelites for the murder, 9 because you will be doing what Yahweh considers to be right. You will not be considered guilty for murdering that person.
10 When your fighting men go to fight against your enemies, and Yahweh our God enables you to defeat them, and they become your prisoners, 11 one of you may see among them a beautiful woman that he likes, and he may want to marry her. 12 He should take her to his home, and there she must shave all the hair off her head and cut her fingernails. 13 She must change out of the clothes that she was wearing when she was captured. She must stay in that man’s house and mourn for her parents for a month. After that, he may marry her and have sex with her. 14 Later, if he no longer is pleased with her, he must let her leave him and go wherever she wants. But because sending her away will humiliate her, he may not sell her to anyone else like a slave.
15 Suppose that a man has two wives, but he loves one of them more than the other. And suppose that they both give birth to sons, and that the oldest son is the child of the woman that he does not favor. 16 On the day when that man decides which of his possessions each son will obtain after he dies, he must not favor the son of the wife that he loves by giving him the larger share that should go to the firstborn son of the wife he does not favor. 17 He must give the firstborn son twice as much of his possessions as he gives to any other sons, even though he is from the wife whom he does not favor. That son is the first proof that the father can reproduce, and the largest share belongs to him because he was born first.
18 Suppose there is a young man who is very stubborn and is always rebelling against his parents, and who will not heed what they say to him. And suppose that they punish him but he still does not pay attention to what they tell him. 19 If that happens, his parents must take him to the gate of the city where they live and have him stand in front of the elders of the city. 20 Then the parents must say to the elders of that city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and always rebelling against us. He will not pay attention to what we tell him. He eats too much, and he gets drunk.’ 21 Then all the men of that city must execute him by throwing stones at him. By doing that, you will make sure no one from among you does this evil action. And everyone in Israel will hear about what happened and they will be afraid to do what he did.
22 If you execute someone for committing a crime for which he deserves to die, and you hang his corpse on a post, 23 you must not allow his corpse to remain there all night. You must bury it on the day that he died, because if you keep the corpse on a post, God will curse the land. You must bury the corpse that day, in order that you do not defile the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you to inherit.
