*
If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother ,
and who ,
when they have chastened him ,
will not obey them ,
*
then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city ,
to the gate of his place .
*
And they shall say to the elders of his city ,
This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious ;
he will not obey our voice ;
he is a glutton and a drunkard .
*
Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones ;
thus you shall put away the evil from among you ,
and all Israel shall hear and fear .
*
If a man is guilty of a sin deserving of death ,
and he is put to death ,
and you have hung him on a tree ,
*
his corpse shall not remain overnight on the tree ,
but you shall surely bury him that day ,
so that you do not defile the land which Jehovah your God is giving you as an inheritance ;
for he who is hanging is accursed of God .
