DEUTERONOMY 21:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:”
Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death; so you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear, and be afraid — the communal stoning (skillot) executes the rebellious son; the act becomes didactic pedagogy (all Israel will hear and be afraid), warning other rebellious youth of the covenantal seriousness of parental dishonor.
