THE TORAH ON UNKNOWN ASSASSINS When you find someone pierced on the soil Yah Veh your Elohim gives you to possess - fallen in the field and know not who pierced him: 2 then your elders and your judges come and measure to the cities all around the pierced: 3 and so be it, the city nearest to the pierced, even the elders of that city take a heifer of the oxen which neither served nor drawn in the yoke; 4 and the elders of that city descend the heifer to a perennial wadi, - neither served nor seeded and break the neck of the heifer there in the wadi: 5 and the priests the sons of Levi come near; for Yah Veh your Elohim chooses them to minister to him and to bless in the name of Yah Veh; and by their mouth is every dispute and every plague: 6 and all the elders of the city near the pierced, baptize their hands over the heifer whose neck they broke in the wadi: 7 and they answer and say, Neither our hands poured this blood, nor our eyes seen. 8 Kapar/Atone, O Yah Veh, to your people Yisra El whom you redeemed; and give not innocent blood midst your people Yisra El. - and the blood kapars/atones. 9 Thus you burn the innocent blood from among you, when you work straight in the eyes of Yah Veh. 10
THE TORAH ON THE CAPTURED WOMAN When you go to war against your enemies and Yah Veh your Elohim gives them in your hands and you capture them, 11 and among the captives, see a woman fair in form and are attached to her, and you take her as your woman; 12 bring her midst your house: and she shaves her head and works her nails 13 and she turns aside the clothes of her captivity and settles in your house; and weeps over her father and her mother a moon of days: and after that you go in to her and marry her and she becomes your woman. 14 And so be it, if you delight not in her, send her away as her soul desires; but in selling, you neither sell her for silver, nor tyrranize her, because you humbled her. 15
THE TORAH ON FIRSTBIRTHS When a man has two women, one beloved and one hated, and they birth him sons - both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstbirth son be hers that was hated: 16 then so be it, the day his sons inherit what he has, that he cannot make the son of the beloved firstbirth face the son of the hated firstbirth: 17 but he recognizes the son of the hated as the firstbirth, by giving him a twofold mouth of all they find with him: for he is the beginning of his strength; the judgment of firstrights is his. 18
THE TORAH ON A REVOLTING AND REBELLIOUS SON When a man has a revolting and rebellious son, who hearkens not to the voice of his father or the voice of his mother and that, when they discipline him, he hearkens not to them: 19 then his father and his mother capture him and bring him to the elders of his city and to the portal of his place; 20 and they say to the elders of his city, This our son is revolting and rebellious, he hearkens not to our voice; he is a glutton and a carouser. 21 And all the men of his city stone him with stones and he dies: thus you burn evil from among you. - and all Yisra El hears and awes. 22
THE TORAH ON EXECUTION And if there is a sin in a man - a judgment of death and you deathify him and you hang him on a tree; 23 stay not his carcase on the tree overnight, but in entombing, entomb him that day; for he who is hanged has an abasement of Elohim; that your soil be not defiled, which Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - an inheritance.
