Deuteronomy 21:18;
If a man has a stubborn and unruly son
who will not listen to his father or mother, and will not obey
them even though they chastise him, his father and mother shall
have him apprehended and brought out to the elders at the
gate of his home city, where they shall say to those city elders,
'This son of ours is a stubborn and unruly fellow who will not
listen to us; he is a glutton and a drunkard.'
Then all his fellow citizens shall

STONE HIM TO DEATH.
