NET Bible
"you must bring to your city gates that man or woman who has done this wicked thing– that very man or woman– and you must stone that person to death."
— Deuteronomy 17:5, NET Bible
“Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.”
“then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them to death with stones. ”
“then you shall bring forth that man or that woman, who has done this evil thing, to your gates, even the man or the woman; and you shall stone them to death with stones.”
“Thou shalt bring forth the man or the woman, who have committed that most wicked thing, to the gates of thy city, and they shall be stoned.”
“Then you are to take the man or woman who has done the evil to the public place of your town, and they are to be stoned with stones till they are dead.”
“Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.”
Suppose a man or woman is discovered among you– in one of your villages that the LORD your God is giving you– who sins before the Lord your God and breaks his covenant
by serving other gods and worshiping them– the sun, moon, or any other heavenly bodies which I have not permitted you to worship.
When it is reported to you and you hear about it, you must investigate carefully. If it is indeed true that such a disgraceful thing is being done in Israel,
you must bring to your city gates that man or woman who has done this wicked thing– that very man or woman– and you must stone that person to death.
At the testimony of two or three witnesses they must be executed. They cannot be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.
The witnesses must be first to begin the execution, and then all the people are to join in afterward. In this way you will purge evil from among you.
Appeal to a Higher Court If a matter is too difficult for you to judge– bloodshed, legal claim, or assault– matters of controversy in your villages– you must leave there and go up to the place the LORD your God chooses.
