Deuteronomio 21:19 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 21:19

Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him
With their own hands, or cause him to be apprehended by others, in which they were to agree, and which the Jews gather from hence;

``if (say they ^F25) the father is willing (to bring him to justice), and the mother not willing, if his father is not willing and the mother is willing, he is not reckoned a stubborn or rebellious son, until they both agree:''

and bring him out unto the elders of his city;
according to the Misnah {z}, the sanhedrim, or court of judicature, consisting of twenty three; for they say, that after he has been admonished and scourged by order of the bench of three, if he returns to his corrupt and wicked ways again, he is judged by the court of twenty three:

and unto the gate of his place;
or city, where the court sat; so the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, to the gate of the sanhedrim of his place.

Deuteronomio 21:19 In-Context

17 mas al hijo de la aborrecida se reconocerá por primogénito, para darle doble porción de todo lo que le fuere hallado; porque aquel es el principio de su fuerza, el derecho de la primogenitura es suyo

18 Cuando alguno tuviere hijo contumaz y rebelde, que no oyere a la voz de su padre ni a la voz de su madre, y habiéndole castigado, no les oyere

19 entonces lo tomarán su padre y su madre, y lo sacarán a los ancianos de su ciudad, y a la puerta del lugar suyo

20 y dirán a los ancianos de la ciudad: Este nuestro hijo es contumaz y rebelde, no oye nuestra voz; es glotón y borracho

21 Entonces todos los hombres de su ciudad lo apedrearán con piedras, y morirá; así quitarás el mal de tu tierra; y todo Israel oirá, y temerá
