Next

Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

Then ye shall bring {H3318} them both {H8147} out unto the gate {H8179} of that city {H5892}, and ye shall stone {H5619} them with stones {H68} that they die {H4191}; the damsel {H5291}, because {H834}{H1697} she cried {H6817} not, being in the city {H5892}; and the man {H376}, because {H834}{H1697} he hath humbled {H6031} his neighbour's {H7453} wife {H802}: so thou shalt put away {H1197} evil {H7451} from among {H7130} you.

you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.

then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them to death with stones; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor’s wife: so thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
