Context — The Law Concerning Punishmentgenerated

4and if it is reported and you hear about it, you must investigate it thoroughly. If the report is true and such an abomination has happened in Israel,
5you must bring out to your gates the man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you must stone that person to death.
6On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but he shall not be executed on the testimony of a lone witness.
7The hands of the witnesses shall be the first in putting him to death, and after that, the hands of all the people. So you must purge the evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 17:5 outlines the procedure for dealing with individuals who commit serious transgressions. It emphasizes the importance of community involvement in justice, requiring that the accused be brought to the city gates, a public place where legal matters are addressed. This reflects the communal nature of justice in ancient Israel, where the entire community had a role in upholding the law.

The Key Word וְהֽוֹצֵאתָ֣, ve.ho.tze.Tagenerated

The verb יָצָא (yatsa') means 'to go out' or 'to come out.' In this context, it indicates the action of bringing someone out of the community to face judgment. The Hiphil form suggests that the subject (you) is causing the action to happen, emphasizing the community's role in executing justice.

This word is used frequently in the Hebrew Bible, highlighting its significance in various contexts, including departure and emergence. Here, it conveys the seriousness of the act of bringing someone out for public judgment.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb וְהֽוֹצֵאתָ֣ governs the entire sentence, indicating the action that must be taken. It is followed by two noun phrases: the first identifies the person being brought out, and the second specifies the action to be taken against them.

The structure emphasizes the community's obligation to act, with the imperative form of the verb clearly outlining the required action.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וְהֽוֹצֵאתָ֣ with ἐχάχεις, meaning 'to bring forth' or 'to lead out.' This choice reflects a similar emphasis on the act of bringing someone out for judgment, maintaining the original intent of the Hebrew text.

This translation choice aligns with the communal responsibility for justice, indicating that the action is not just a personal one but a collective duty.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

Bringing someone to the gates signifies a public trial or judgment, where the community can witness the proceedings and the punishment.

An 'evil thing' refers to actions that violate God's commandments and moral laws, leading to severe consequences as outlined in the law.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls largely agree with the Masoretic Text, though the Samaritan version uses a different pronoun for 'that' in reference to the woman. The Dead Sea Scrolls contain partially restored words but match the overall structure and meaning of the Masoretic Text.

Man

(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).

(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;

Several women are mentioned in Scripture as having been endowed with prophetic gifts, as Miriam (Ex. 15:20), Deborah (Judg. 4:4, 5), Huldah (2 Kings 22:14), Noadiah (Neh. 6:14), Anna (Luke 2:36, 37), and the daughters of Philip the evangelist…

ev'-'-l, e'-vil ra`; poneros, @kakos, @kakon:

In the Bible it is represented as moral and physical. We choose to discuss the subject under these heads. Many of the evils that come upon men have not been intended by those who suffer for them. Disease, individual and national calamity, drought, scarcity of food, may not always be charged to the account of intentional wrong. Many times the innocent suffer with, and even for, the guilty. In such cases, only physical evil is apparent. Even when the suffering has been occasioned by sin or dereliction of duty, whether the wrong is active or passive, many, perhaps the majority of those who are injured, are not accountable in any way for the ills which come upon them. Neither is God the author of moral evil. "God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man" (Jas 1:13).

Man

(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).

(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;

The Hebrew word אוֹ (*'ow*) primarily functions as a conjunction meaning 'or,' often indicating a preference or choice between options. It can also introduce examples, express conditions, or imply alternatives. Additionally, it is associated with the noun meaning 'desire' in Proverbs 31:4. The entries reflect a range of uses, but do not present significant disagreement.
