- "And all¹ the men²¹ of his cityª shall stoneª° him with stones,ª that he die:ª° so shalt thou put²° evil² awayª°¹ from amongª¹ you; and all¹ Israelª shall hear,ª° and fear.ª°" {Deu 21:21} + "Again, thou shalt sayª° to¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª Whosoeverª [he be] of the childrenª¹ of Israel,ª or of¹ the strangersª that sojournª° in Israel,ª that¹ givethª° [any] of his seedª¹ unto Molech;ª he shall surely²° be put to death:ª° the peopleª of the landª shall stoneª° him with stones.ª" {Lev 20:2} + "A manª also or¹ womanª that¹ hath²¹ a familiar spirit,ª or¹ that is a wizard,ª shall surely²° be put to death:ª° they shall stoneª° them with stones:ª their bloodª [shall be] upon them." {Lev 20:27} + "Bring forthª°¹ him that hath cursedª° withoutª¹¹ the camp;ª and let all¹ that heardª° [him] layª°¹ their handsª upon¹ his head,ª and let all¹ the congregationª stoneª° him. ... And he that blasphemethª° the nameª of the LORD,ª he shall surely²° be put to death,ª° [and] all¹ the congregationª shall certainly²° stoneª° him: as well the stranger,ª as he that is born in the land,ª when he blasphemethª° the nameª [of the LORD], shall be put to death.ª°" {Lev 24:14-16} + "And Mosesª spakeª° to¹ the childrenª of Israel,ª that they should bring forthª°¹ him that had cursedª° out² of¹¹¹ the camp,ª and stoneª° him with stones.ª And the childrenª of Israelª didª° as¹ the LORDª commandedª°¹ Moses.ª" {Lev 24:23} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª The manª shall be surely²° put to death:ª° all¹ the congregationª shall stoneª° him with stonesª withoutª¹ the camp.ª ... And all¹ the congregationª broughtª° him withoutª¹¹ the camp,ª and stonedª° him with stones,ª and he died;ª° as¹ the LORDª commandedª°¹ Moses.ª" {Num 15:35-36} + "And Joshuaª said,ª° Whyª hast thou troubledª° us? the LORDª shall troubleª° thee this¹ day.ª And all¹ Israelª stoned²°¹ him with stones,ª and burnedª° them with fire,ª after they had stoned²°¹ them with stones.ª" {Jsh 7:25} + "And they conspiredª° against¹ him, and stonedª° him with stonesª at the commandmentª of the kingª in the courtª of the houseª of the LORD.ª" {2Ch 24:21}; By this law, every Israelite was bound in conscience to inform against, to prosecute, and to assist at the execution of any one, even the nearest relation or friend, who attempted to persuade him to idolatry; yet it is observable that parents and husbands are not expressly mentioned in the list of those who were thus publicly accused. - Scott.
