And I laid hold of my concubine, and divided her in pieces, and sent [the parts] into every coast of the inheritance of the children of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and abomination in Israel.

Behold, all you are children of Israel; and consider and take counsel here among yourselves.

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

And if there be sin in anyone, [and] the judgment of death [be upon him], and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;

his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall by all means bury it in that day; for everyone that is hanged on a tree is cursed of God; and you shall by no means defile the land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
