YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 :
`When
one is
found slain on
the ground
which Jehovah
thy God is
giving
to
thee to possess it --
fallen
in a
field --
it is
not known who hath smitten
him ,
Then thy
elders and thy judges shall
come
forth,
and they
shall
measure
unto the cities which are round about him
that
is
slain :
then have
thine
elders and thy judges gone
out
and measured
unto the cities which `
are '
round about the
slain one,
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 ;
and it hath
been
, the city which `
is '
near
unto the slain one
, even the elders of that city have
taken
a
heifer of
the
herd
, which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in the yoke ,
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 :
and the elders of that city have
brought
down the heifer unto a hard
valley, which is not
tilled
nor sown, and have
beheaded
there the
heifer
in the valley .
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:
`
And the priests ,
sons of Levi ,
have
come nigh
--
for on
them hath
Jehovah
thy God fixed
to serve
Him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah,
and by their mouth
is
every strife,
and every stroke --
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 :
and all the elders of that city, who
are near
unto the slain one
, do
wash their hands over the heifer which
is beheaded in the valley ,
And they shall
answer
and say
, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither
have
our eyes seen it.
and they have
answered
and said
, Our hands have not shed this blood, and
our eyes have
not
seen --
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 .
receive
atonement
for
Thy people Israel, whom Thou hast ransomed
, O
Jehovah,
and suffer
not innocent blood in
the
midst
of
Thy people Israel;
and the blood hath
been
pardoned
to
them ,
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
.
and
thou dost
put away the innocent blood out
of
thy
midst
, for
thou dost
that which `
is '
right in the eyes
of Jehovah
.
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,
`
When thou goest out
to battle
against thine enemies, and Jehovah
thy God hath given
them into thy
hand
, and thou hast taken captive its
captivity
,
And seest
among
the captives
a beautiful
woman, and hast a
desire
unto
her, that
thou
wouldest
have
her
to thy
wife ;
and hast
seen
in
the captivity
a woman of
fair
form
, and hast delighted
in
her, and
hast
taken
to thee
for
a
wife ,
Then thou shalt
bring
her home
to
thine
house
, and she shall
shave
her head, and pare
her nails ;
then thou hast
brought
her in
unto
the
midst
of
thy
household
, and she hath
shaved
her head, and prepared
her nails ,
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 .
and turned
aside
the raiment of her captivity from off her, and hath
dwelt
in thy
house, and bewailed
her father and her mother a month of
days,
and afterwards
thou dost
go in unto her and hast
married
her, and she hath
been
to
thee
for
a
wife :
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.
`
And it hath
been
--
if thou hast
not
delighted
in her, that
thou hast
sent
her away
at
her
desire,
and
thou dost
not at all sell
her
for money ;
thou dost
not tyrannize
over
her, because that
thou hast humbled her.
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 :
`When
a man hath
two wives, the
one loved
and the
other
hated, and they have borne
to
him sons
(
the loved
one
and the hated one),
and the first-born
son hath
been
to
the
hated one;
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:
then it hath
been
, in
the
day
of
his causing
his
sons to inherit that which he hath, he is
not able
to
declare
first-born
the son of the loved
one,
in
the face
of
the
son of the hated one
--
the first-born.
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
.
But the first-born,
son of the hated one
, he
doth
acknowledge,
to
give
to
him a double portion of all that is
found
with
him,
for he `
is '
the beginning of his strength; to
him
`is'
the right of the first-born
.
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 :
`When
a man hath
a son
apostatizing
and rebellious --
he
is
not hearkening
to
the voice of his father, and
to
the voice of his mother, and they have chastised
him, and
he
doth
not hearken unto them --
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 ;
then laid
hold
on
him
have
his father and his mother, and they
have
brought
him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place ,
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 .
and have
said
unto the elders of his city, Our son --
this
one
--
is apostatizing
and rebellious ;
he is
not hearkening
to
our voice --
a glutton and drunkard ;
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.
and all the men of his city have
stoned
him with stones, and
he hath
died,
and
thou hast
put away the
evil
out
of
thy
midst,
and all Israel do
hear and fear.
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 :
`
And when
there
is
in
a man a sin --
a
cause
of death, and he hath
been
put to death, and thou hast
hanged
him on a tree ,
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.
his corpse
doth
not remain on
the tree, for
thou dost
certainly
bury him in
that day --
for a
thing
lightly
esteemed
of God `is'
the
hanged
one
--
and
thou
dost
not defile
thy
ground
which Jehovah
thy God is
giving
to
thee --
an inheritance.
