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 Más bien, reconocerá a este como el primogénito, y le dará una doble porción de sus posesiones. Ese hijo es el primer fruto de su vigor, y a él le pertenece el derecho de primogenitura.

18 »Si un hombre tiene un hijo obstinado y rebelde, que no escucha a su padre ni a su madre, ni los obedece cuando lo disciplinan,

19 su padre y su madre lo llevarán a la puerta de la ciudad y lo presentarán ante los ancianos.

20 Y dirán los padres a los ancianos: “Este hijo nuestro es obstinado y rebelde, libertino y borracho. No nos obedece”.

21 Entonces todos los hombres de la ciudad lo apedrearán hasta matarlo. Así extirparás el mal que haya en medio de ti. Y todos en Israel lo sabrán, y tendrán temor.
