[13:10]  1 sn Execution by means of pelting the offender with stones afforded a mechanism whereby the whole community could share in it. In a very real sense it could be done not only in the name of the community and on its behalf but by its members (cf. Lev 24:14; Num 15:35; Deut 21:21; Josh 7:25).

[13:11]  2 sn Some see in this statement an argument for the deterrent effect of capital punishment (Deut 17:13; 19:20; 21:21).

[17:5]  3 tn Heb “gates.”

[17:5]  4 tn Heb “stone them with stones so that they die” (KJV similar); NCV “throw stones at that person until he dies.”

[24:16]  5 sn See the note on v. 11 above.
