1	If one be found# slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth# thee to possess# it, lying# in the field, and it be not known# who hath slain# him:
			2	Then thy elders and thy judges# shall come forth# , and they shall measure# unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:
			3	And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take# an heifer# , which hath not been wrought with# , and which hath not drawn# in the yoke;
			4	And the elders of that city shall bring down# the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared# nor sown# , and shall strike off# the heifer's neck# there in the valley:
			5	And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near# ; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen# to minister# unto him, and to bless# in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried : [word: Heb. mouth]
			6	And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man , shall wash# their hands over the heifer that is beheaded# in the valley:
			7	And they shall answer# and say# , Our hands have not shed# this blood, neither have our eyes seen# it .
			8	Be merciful# , O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed# , and lay# not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven# them. [unto thy people of: Heb. in the midst, etc]
			9	So shalt thou put away# the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do# that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
			10	When thou goest forth# to war against thine enemies# , and the LORD thy God hath delivered# them into thine hands, and thou hast taken# them captive,
			11	And seest# among the captives a beautiful# woman, and hast a desire# unto her, that thou wouldest have her# to thy wife;
			12	Then thou shalt bring# her home to thine house; and she shall shave# her head, and pare# her nails; [pare: or, suffer to grow: Heb. make, or, dress]
			13	And she shall put# the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain# in thine house, and bewail# her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go# in unto her, and be her husband# , and she shall be thy wife.
			14	And it shall be, if thou have no delight# in her, then thou shalt let her go# whither she will; but thou shalt not sell# her at all# for money, thou shalt not make merchandise# of her, because thou hast humbled# her.
			15	If a man have two wives, one beloved# , and another hated# , and they have born# him children, both the beloved# and the hated# ; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
			16	Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit# that which he hath, that he may# not make the son of the beloved# firstborn# before the son of the hated# , which is indeed the firstborn:
			17	But he shall acknowledge# the son of the hated# for the firstborn, by giving# him a double portion of all that he hath# : for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. [that...: Heb. that is found with him]
			18	If a man have a stubborn# and rebellious# son, which will not obey# the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that , when they have chastened# him, will not hearken# unto them:
			19	Then shall his father and his mother lay hold# on him, and bring him out# unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
			20	And they shall say# unto 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# .
			21	And all the men of his city shall stone# him with stones, that he die# : so shalt thou put# evil away# from among you; and all Israel shall hear# , and fear# .
			22	And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death# , and thou hang# him on a tree:
			23	His body shall not remain all night# upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise# bury# him that day; (for he that is hanged# is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled# , which the LORD thy God giveth# thee for an inheritance. [accursed...: Heb. the curse of God]
