Deuteronomy 21

1 If one be found slain in the land which YHWH your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn't known who has struck him;

If it will be found [one] slain in the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you to take possession of it lying in the open country not it is known who? did he strike him.

2 then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain:

And they will go out elders your and judges your and they will measure to the cities which [are] around the [one] slain.

3 and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn't been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;

And it will be the city near to the [one] slain and they will take [the] elders of the city that a heifer of [the] herd which not it has been worked by it which not it has dragged by a yoke.

4 and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley.

And they will bring down [the] elders of the city that the heifer to a wadi ever-flowing which not it is tilled in it and not it is sown and they will break [the] neck of there the heifer in the wadi.

5 The priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them YHWH your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of YHWH; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.

And they will draw near the priests [the] sons of Levi for them he has chosen Yahweh God your to serve him and to bless in [the] name of Yahweh and on mouth their it will be every dispute and every wound.

6 All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;

And all [the] elders of the city that near to the [one] slain they will wash hands their over the heifer broken necked in the wadi.

7 and they shall answer and say, "Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.

And they will answer and they will say hands our not (they shed *Q(K)*) the blood this and eyes our not they saw.

8 Forgive, YHWH, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel." The blood shall be forgiven them.

Make atonement for people your Israel which you ransomed O Yahweh and may not you put blood innocent in [the] midst of people your Israel and it will be atoned for for them the blood.

9 So you shall put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of YHWH.

And you you will remove the blood innocent from midst your for you will do the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh.

10 When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and YHWH your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry them away captive,

If you will go out to war on enemies your and he will give him Yahweh God your in hand your and you will take captive captive[s] his.

11 and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife;

And you will see among the [female] captive[s] a woman beautiful of appearance and you will love her and you will take [her] for yourself to a wife.

12 then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave her head, and trim her nails;

And you will bring her into [the] middle of house your and she will shave head her and she will attend to finger-nails her.

13 and she shall remove the clothing she was wearing when captured, and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother a full month. And after that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

And she will remove [the] clothing of captivity her from on her and she will dwell in house your and she will weep for father her and mother her a month of days and after thus you will go into her and you will be husband her and she will become of you a wife.

14 It shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you must let her go where she wants; but you may not sell her for money or treat her as a commodity, since you have had relations with her.

And it will be if not you delight in her and you will let go her for self her and certainly not you will sell her for money not you will treat as a slave her because that you have humiliated her.

15 If a man has two wives, the one loved, and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved; and if the firstborn son is hers who was unloved;

If they will belong to a man two wives the one [is] loved and the one [is] hated and they will bear to him sons the loved [one] and the hated [one] and he will belong the son the firstborn to the hated [wife].

16 then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the loved the firstborn before the son of the unloved, who is the firstborn:

And it will be on [the] day causes to inherit he sons his [that] which it will belong to him not he will be able to treat as firstborn [the] son the loved [one] on [the] face of [the] son of the hated [one] the firstborn.

17 but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the unloved, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

That the firstborn [the] son of the hated [one] he will acknowledge by giving to him a mouth of two in all that it will be found to him for he [is] [the] beginning of manly vigor his [belongs] to him [the] claim of the birthright.

18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;

If he will belong to anyone a son stubborn and rebellious not he [is] listening to [the] voice of father his and to [the] voice of mother his (and they will discipline *L(abh)*) him and not he will listen to them.

19 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;

And they will seize him father his and mother his and they will bring out him to [the] elders of city his and to [the] gate of place his.

20 and they shall tell 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."

And they will say to [the] elders of city his son our this [is] stubborn and rebellious not he [is] listening to voice our a glutton and a drunkard.

21 All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

And they will stone him all [the] men of city his with stones and he will die and you will remove the evil from midst your and all Israel they will hear and they may fear.

22 If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;

And if it will be in anyone a sin of a sentence of death and he will be put to death and you will hang him on a tree.

23 his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for everyone who hangs on a tree is cursed by God; that you do not defile your land which YHWH your God gives you for an inheritance.

Not it will remain overnight corpse his on the tree for certainly you will bury him on the day that for [is] a curse of God [one who] is hanged and not you will make unclean land your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you an inheritance.
