In context

17 but the true firstborn the son of her that is hated, shall he treat as firstborn by giving him double out of all that is found to be his,—for, he, is the beginning of his strength, his, is the right of the firstborn.

18 When a man hath a son, rebellious and insulting, who will not hearken to the voice of his father, and to the voice of his mother,—though they chastise him, yet will not hearken unto them,

19 then shall his father and his mother, lay hold of him,—and bring him forth unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

20 and shall say unto the elders of his city: This our son, is rebellious and insulting,—he will not hearken unto our voice,—a glutton and a tippler.

21 Then shall all the men of his city stone him with stones that he die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst,—and, all Israel, shall hear and fear.

22 But when there shall be in any man a sin worthy of death and he is to be put to death,—and thou shalt hang him on a tree,

23 his dead body shall not remain all night upon the tree but thou shalt bury, him on the same day, for a reproach unto God, is he that is hanged,—so shalt thou not make unclean thy soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.
