Deuteronomy 21:18

21:18 If a person has a stubborn, rebellious son who pays no attention to his father or mother, and they discipline him to no avail, ¹ 

Deuteronomy 21:20

21:20 They must declare to the elders ²  of his city, “Our son is stubborn and rebellious and pays no attention to what we say – he is a glutton and drunkard.”

Deuteronomy 29:15

29:15 but with whoever stands with us here today before the Lord our God as well as those not with us here today. ³ 

¹ tn Heb “and he does not listen to them.”

² tc The LXX and Smr read “to the men,” probably to conform to this phrase in v. 21. However, since judicial cases were the responsibility of the elders in such instances (cf. Deut 19:12; 21:3, 6; 25:7-8) the reading of the MT is likely original and correct here.

³ tn This is interpreted by some English versions as a reference to generations not yet born (cf. TEV, CEV, NLT).
