Deuteronomy 21:19-23 New English Translation (NET)

19. his father and mother must seize him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his city.

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

21. Then all the men of his city must stone him to death. In this way you will purge out wickedness from among you, and all Israel will hear about it and be afraid.

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

23. his body must not remain all night on the tree; instead you must make certain you bury him that same day, for the one who is left exposed on a tree is cursed by God. You must not defile your land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
