If a person commits a sin punishable by death and is executed, and you hang the corpse ¹  on a tree,

You must not do anything to the young woman – she has done nothing deserving of death. This case is the same as when someone attacks another person ¹  and murders him,

At the testimony of two or three witnesses they must be executed. They cannot be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.

Otherwise the blood avenger will chase after the killer in the heat of his anger, eventually overtake him, ¹  and kill him, ²  though this is not a capital case ³  since he did not hate him at the time of the accident.

He is the one you should praise; ¹  he is your God, the one who has done these great and awesome things for you that you have seen.

Fathers must not be put to death for what their children ¹  do, nor children for what their fathers do; each must be put to death for his own sin.

Then, ¹  if the guilty person is sentenced to a beating, ²  the judge shall force him to lie down and be beaten in his presence with the number of blows his wicked behavior deserves. ³
