DEUTERONOMY 21:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:”
You shall make a parapet for your roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt on your house if anyone should fall from it — the parapet requirement (miskeneret) transforms the roof into a safer space; the prevention of accidental death is framed as preventing bloodguilt (damim), making safety infrastructure a covenantal obligation.
