... I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. [Jeremiah 9:24 KJV]

Questions

In Acient Israel there was no such thing as permanent incarceration, the person was held temporarily until sentenced.



Kidnap--Child Prostitution:


[Exo 21:16 KJV] And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.



Slave Labor:


[Deu 24:7 KJV] If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.



Stealing:


[Exo 22:1 RSV] "If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and kills it or sells it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. He shall make restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

(If a theft cound not make restitution he was sold as a slave until the debt was paid off. The penalty for the theft of a sheep which was slain or sold, was fourfold; for an ox fivefold, because of its greater utility in labor.)


[Exo 22:2-3 RSV] "If a thief is found breaking in, and is struck so that he dies, there shall be no bloodguilt for him; but if the sun has risen upon him, there shall be bloodguilt for him.

(A robber breaking into a house at midnight might, in self-defense, be slain with impunity; but if he was slain after sunrise, it would be considered murder, for it was not thought likely an assault would then be made upon the lives of the occupants.)



Murder:

[Num 35:30 RSV] If any one kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the evidence of witnesses; but no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.


[Numbers 35:31 GW] "Never accept a cash payment in exchange for the life of a convicted murderer who has been given the death penalty. Murderers must be put to death.


[Numbers 35:33 GW] "You must not pollute the land where you live. Murder is what pollutes the land. The land where a murder was committed can never make peace with the LORD except through the death of the murderer.


[Leviticus 24:17 RSV] He who kills a man shall be put to death.



Responsibility:

[Exo 21:28-29 RSV] "When an ox gores a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be clear. But if the ox has been accustomed to gore in the past, and its owner has been warned but has not kept it in, and it kills a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.

 

(According to this verse parents would be held partly responsible for there teenages behavour if living at home. Example: a teenager driving under the influence and killing an inocent person.)

 

 

Rape:


[Deu 22:25-27 CEV] If an engaged woman is raped out in the country, only the man will be put to death. Do not punish the woman at all; she has done nothing wrong, and certainly nothing deserving death. This crime is like murder, because the woman was alone out in the country when the man attacked her. She screamed, but there was no one to help her.
