“Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.”
Then you shall bring out to your gates that man or that woman who has committed this crime, and you shall stone them to death — the public, communal execution at the town gate symbolizes the entire community's repudiation of the covenant-breaker; the death removes the contamination from Israel's midst.
