DEUTERONOMY 21:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.”
Let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and you may live long; for this is a long-life commandment — the promise of longevity (hayim tarukim) attached to this seemingly minor law suggests that respect for natural processes and animal welfare is connected to receiving the full blessing of covenant life.
