6. The town leaders will wash their hands over the body of the dead cow
7. and say, “We had no part in this murder, and we don't know who did it.
10. From time to time, you men will serve as soldiers and go off to war. The Lord your God will help you defeat your enemies, and you will take many prisoners.
14. Later on, if you are not happy with the woman, you can divorce her, and she can go free. But you have slept with her as your wife, so you cannot sell her as a slave or make her into your own slave.
18. A father and a mother may have a stubborn and rebellious son who refuses to obey them even after he has been punished.
19. If a son is like that, his parents must drag him to the town gate, where the leaders of the town hold their meetings.
20. The parents will tell the leaders, “This son of ours is stubborn and never obeys. He spends all his time drinking and feasting.”
21. The men of the town will stone that son to death, because they must get rid of the evil he brought into the community. Everyone in Israel will be afraid when they hear how he was punished.
22. If a criminal is put to death, and you hang the dead body on a tree,
23. you must not let it hang there overnight. Bury it the same day, because the dead body of a criminal will bring God's curse on the land. The Lord your God is giving this land to you, so don't make it unclean by leaving the bodies of executed criminals on display.
