1 H4672 [H8735] If one shall be found H2491 slain H127 in the soil H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H3423 [H8800] thee to possess H5307 [H8802] it, lying H7704 in the field, H3045 [H8738] and it be not known H5221 [H8689] who hath slain him:

2 H2205 Then thy elders H8199 [H8802] and thy judges H3318 [H8804] shall come forth, H4058 [H8804] and they shall measure H5892 to the cities H5439 which are around H2491 him that is slain:

3 H5892 And it shall be, that the city H7138 which is next H2491 to the slain man, H2205 even the elders H5892 of that city H3947 [H8804] shall take H1241 H5697 an heifer, H5647 [H8795] which hath not been worked, H4900 [H8804] and which hath not pulled H5923 the yoke;

4 H2205 And the elders H5892 of that city H3381 [H8689] shall bring down H5697 the heifer H386 to a rough H5158 valley, H5647 [H8735] which is neither tilled H2232 [H8735] nor sown, H6202 0 and shall strike off H5697 the heifer's H6202 [H8804] neck H5158 there in the valley:

5 H3548 And the priests H1121 the sons H3878 of Levi H5066 [H8738] shall come near; H3068 for them the LORD H430 thy God H977 [H8804] hath chosen H8334 [H8763] to minister H1288 [H8763] to him, and to bless H8034 in the name H3068 of the LORD; H6310 and by their mouth H7379 shall every controversy H5061 and every stroke be tried:

6 H2205 And all the elders H5892 of that city, H7138 that are next H2491 to the slain H7364 [H8799] man, shall wash H3027 their hands H5697 over the heifer H6202 [H8803] that is beheaded H5158 in the valley:

7 H6030 [H8804] And they shall answer H559 [H8804] and say, H3027 Our hands H8210 [H8804] have not shed H1818 this blood, H5869 neither have our eyes H7200 [H8804] seen it.

8 H3722 [H8761] Be merciful, H3068 O LORD, H5971 to thy people H3478 Israel, H6299 [H8804] whom thou hast ransomed, H5414 [H8799] and lay H5355 not innocent H1818 blood H7130 to the charge H5971 of thy people H3478 Israel. H1818 And the blood H3722 [H8694] shall be forgiven them.

9 H1197 [H8762] So shalt thou remove H5355 the guilt of innocent H1818 blood H7130 from among H6213 [H8799] you, when thou shalt do H3477 that which is right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD.

10 H3318 [H8799] When thou goest forth H4421 to war H341 [H8802] against thy enemies, H3068 and the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8804] hath given H3027 them into thine hands, H7617 [H8804] and thou hast taken H7628 them captive,

11 H7200 [H8804] And thou seest H7633 among the captives H8389 H3303 a beautiful H802 woman, H2836 [H8804] and hast a desire H3947 [H8804] to her, that thou wouldest have her H802 for thy wife;

12 H935 [H8689] Then thou shalt bring H8432 her home H1004 to thy house; H1548 [H8765] and she shall shave H7218 her head, H6213 [H8804] and pare H6856 her nails;

13 H5493 [H8689] And she shall put H8071 off from her the raiment H7628 of her captivity, H3427 [H8804] and shall remain H1004 in thy house, H1058 [H8804] and bewail H1 her father H517 and her mother H3117 a full H3391 month: H310 and after H935 [H8799] that thou shalt go H1166 [H8804] in to her, and be her husband, H802 and she shall be thy wife.

14 H2654 [H8804] And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight H7971 [H8765] in her, then thou shalt let her go H5315 where she will; H4376 [H8799] but thou shalt not sell H4376 [H8800] her at all H3701 for money, H6014 [H8691] thou shalt not make merchandise H834 of her, because H6031 [H8765] thou hast humbled her.

15 H376 If a man H8147 shall have two H802 wives, H259 one H157 [H8803] beloved, H259 and another H8130 [H8803] hated, H3205 [H8804] and they have borne H1121 him sons, H157 [H8803] both the beloved H8130 [H8803] and the hated; H1060 and if the firstborn H1121 son H8146 be hers that was hated:

16 H3117 Then it shall be, when H1121 he maketh his sons H5157 [H8687] to inherit H3201 [H8799] that which he hath, that he may H1121 not prefer the son H157 [H8803] of the beloved H1069 [H8763] firstborn H6440 at the face of H1121 the son H8130 [H8803] of the hated, H1060 which is indeed the firstborn:

17 H5234 [H8686] But he shall acknowledge H1121 the son H8130 [H8803] of the hated H1060 for the firstborn, H5414 [H8800] by giving H8147 him a double H6310 portion H4672 [H8735] of all that he hath: H7225 for he is the beginning H202 of his strength; H4941 the right H1062 of the firstborn is his.

18 H376 If a man H5637 [H8802] shall have a stubborn H4784 [H8802] and rebellious H1121 son, H8085 [H8802] who will not obey H6963 the voice H1 of his father, H6963 or the voice H517 of his mother, H3256 [H8765] and who, when they have chastened H8085 [H8799] him, will not hearken to them:

19 H1 Then shall his father H517 and his mother H8610 [H8804] lay hold H3318 [H8689] on him, and bring him out H2205 to the elders H5892 of his city, H8179 and to the gate H4725 of his place;

20 H559 [H8804] And they shall say H2205 to the elders H5892 of his city, H1121 This our son H5637 [H8802] is stubborn H4784 [H8802] and rebellious, H8085 [H8802] he will not obey H6963 our voice; H2151 [H8802] he is a glutton, H5433 [H8802] and a drunkard.

21 H582 And all the men H5892 of his city H7275 [H8804] shall stone H68 him with stones, H4191 [H8804] that he may die: H1197 [H8765] so shalt thou remove H7451 evil H7130 from among H3478 you; and all Israel H8085 [H8799] shall hear, H3372 [H8799] and fear.

22 H376 And if a man H2399 shall have committed a sin H4941 worthy of H4194 death, H4191 [H8717] and he must be put to death, H8518 [H8804] and thou shalt hang H6086 him on a tree:

23 H5038 His body H3885 [H8799] shall not remain all night H6086 upon the tree, H6912 [H8800] but thou shalt surely H6912 [H8799] bury H3117 him that day; H8518 [H8803] (for he that is hanged H7045 is accursed H430 of God;) H127 that thy soil H2930 [H8762] may not be defiled, H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 [H8802] giveth H5159 thee for an inheritance.
