DEUTERONOMY

Deuteronomy 21

1If one be found slain in the land which the Lord your God gives you to possess it, lying in the field, and it isn't known who has struck him;
Isaiah 26:21, Isaiah 26:21, Psalms 5:6, Psalms 9:12, Acts 28:4
2then your elders and your judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him who is slain:
Romans 13:3, Romans 13:4, Deuteronomy 16:18, Deuteronomy 16:19, Romans 13:3
3and it shall be, that the city which is nearest to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hasn't been worked with, and which has not drawn in the yoke;
Numbers 19:2, Numbers 19:2, Matthew 11:28, Matthew 11:30, Philippians 2:8
4and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the valley.
1 Peter 3:18, 1 Peter 2:21, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Peter 3:18, 1 Peter 2:21
5The priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the Lord your God has chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the Lord; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be.
1 Chronicles 23:13, 1 Chronicles 23:13, Deuteronomy 10:8, Malachi 2:7, Deuteronomy 10:8
6All the elders of that city, who are nearest to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;
Psalms 26:6, Psalms 73:13, Psalms 26:6, Psalms 73:13, Psalms 51:14
7and they shall answer and say, "Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
Job 21:31, Job 21:34, Numbers 5:19, Numbers 5:28, 2 Samuel 16:8
8Forgive, Lord, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood in the midst of your people Israel." The blood shall be forgiven them.
Jonah 1:14, Jonah 1:14, Numbers 35:33, Numbers 35:34, 2 Kings 24:4
9So you shall put away the innocent blood from the midst of you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of the Lord.
Deuteronomy 19:12, Deuteronomy 19:13, 2 Kings 10:30, 2 Kings 10:31, Deuteronomy 13:18
10When you go forth to battle against your enemies, and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands, and you carry them away captive,
Deuteronomy 20:10, Deuteronomy 20:16, Deuteronomy 20:10, Deuteronomy 20:16, Joshua 21:44
11and see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you have a desire to her, and would take her to you as wife;
Proverbs 6:25, Genesis 34:8, Proverbs 31:30, Genesis 34:3, Genesis 12:14
12then you shall bring her home to your house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
Leviticus 14:9, Numbers 6:9, Ephesians 4:22, 1 Corinthians 11:6, Leviticus 14:9
13and she shall put the clothing of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that you shall go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.
Luke 14:26, Luke 14:27, Psalms 45:10, Psalms 45:11, Luke 14:26
14It shall be, if you have no delight in her, then you shall let her go where she will; but you shall not sell her at all for money, you shall not deal with her as a slave, because you have humbled her.
Deuteronomy 22:29, Deuteronomy 22:29, Genesis 34:2, Genesis 34:2, Deuteronomy 22:24
15If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers who was hated;
Genesis 29:33, Genesis 29:33, Genesis 29:20, Genesis 29:20, Genesis 29:30
16then it shall be, in the day that he causes his sons to inherit that which he has, that he may not make the son of the beloved the firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn:
1 Chronicles 26:10, 1 Chronicles 26:10, 1 Chronicles 5:2, 1 Chronicles 5:2, 2 Chronicles 21:3
17but he shall acknowledge the firstborn, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he has; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.
Genesis 49:3, Genesis 49:3, Genesis 25:31, Genesis 25:34, Genesis 25:31
18If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;
Exodus 20:12, Leviticus 19:3, Exodus 20:12, Leviticus 19:3, Amos 4:11
19then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
Zechariah 13:3, Deuteronomy 25:7, Deuteronomy 21:2, Deuteronomy 16:18, Zechariah 13:3
20and they shall tell 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."
Proverbs 20:1, Proverbs 20:1, Proverbs 23:19, Proverbs 23:21, Proverbs 23:29
21All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Deuteronomy 19:19, Deuteronomy 19:20, Deuteronomy 19:19, Deuteronomy 19:20, Leviticus 24:16
22If a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree;
John 19:31, John 19:38, Acts 26:31, John 19:31, John 19:38
23his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God; that you do not defile your land which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.
Galatians 3:13, Galatians 3:13, John 19:31, John 19:31, 2 Corinthians 5:21
