Context 13:10 You must stone him to death1 because he tried to entice you away from the Lord your God, who delivered you from the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.
[13:10]1sn 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).
