| Deuteronomy 21:1 | If, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you come across the dead body of a man in the open country, and you have no idea who has put him to death: | If one shall be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him: | If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess, lying in the field, [and] it be not known who hath smitten him, |
| Deuteronomy 21:2 | Then your responsible men and your judges are to come out, and give orders for the distance from the dead body to the towns round about it to be measured; | Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure to the cities which are around him that is slain: | then thine elders and thy judges shall go forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain; |
| Deuteronomy 21:3 | And whichever town is nearest to the body, the responsible men of that town are to take from the herd a young cow which has never been used for work or put under the yoke; | And it shall be that the city which is next to the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; | and the city that is nearest unto him that is slain, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer that hath not been wrought with, that hath not drawn in the yoke; |
| Deuteronomy 21:4 | And they are to take the cow into a valley where there is flowing water, and which is not ploughed or planted, and there the neck of the cow is to be broken: | And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to a rough valley, which is neither tilled nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley; | and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto an ever-flowing watercourse, which is not tilled, nor is it sown, and shall break the heifer's neck there in the watercourse; |
| Deuteronomy 21:5 | Then the priests, the sons of Levi, are to come near; for they have been marked out by the Lord your God to be his servants and to give blessings in the name of the Lord; and by their decision every argument and every blow is to be judged: | And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near (for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister to him, and to bless in the name of the LORD) and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried; | and the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to do service unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall be every controversy and every stroke. |
| Deuteronomy 21:6 | And all the responsible men of that town which is nearest to the dead man, washing their hands over the cow whose neck was broken in the valley, | And all the elders of that city that are next to the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: | And all the elders of that city, that are nearest unto him that is slain, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck is broken in the watercourse, |
| Deuteronomy 21:7 | Will say, This death is not the work of our hands and our eyes have not seen it. | And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. | and shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. |
| Deuteronomy 21:8 | Have mercy, O Lord, on your people Israel whom you have made free, and take away from your people the crime of a death without cause. Then they will no longer be responsible for the man's death. | Be merciful, O LORD, to thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them. | Forgive thy people Israel, whom thou, Jehovah, hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood to the charge of thy people Israel; and the blood shall be expiated for them. |
| Deuteronomy 21:9 | So you will take away the crime of a death without cause from among you, when you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord. | So shalt thou remove the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD. | So shalt thou put away innocent blood from thy midst, when thou shalt do what is right in the eyes of Jehovah. |
| Deuteronomy 21:10 | When you go out to war against other nations, and the Lord your God gives them up into your hands and you take them as prisoners; | When thou goest forth to war against thy enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thy hands, and thou hast taken them captive, | When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou hast taken captives of them, |
| Deuteronomy 21:11 | If among the prisoners you see a beautiful woman and it is your desire to make her your wife; | And thou seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire to her, that thou wouldest have her for thy wife: | and thou seest among the captives a woman of beautiful form, and hast a desire unto her, and takest her as thy wife; |
| Deuteronomy 21:12 | Then take her back to your house; and let her hair and her nails be cut; | Then thou shalt bring her home to thy house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails: | then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; |
| Deuteronomy 21:13 | And let her take off the dress in which she was made prisoner and go on living in your house and weeping for her father and mother for a full month: and after that you may go in to her and be her husband and she will be your wife. | And she shall put off from her the raiment of her captivity, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that, thou shalt go in to her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. | and she shall put the clothes of her captivity from off her, and shall abide in thy house, and bewail her father and mother a full month, and afterwards thou mayest go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. |
| Deuteronomy 21:14 | But if you have no delight in her, you are to let her go wherever she will; you may not take a price for her as if she was your property, for you have made use of her for your pleasure. | And it shall be, if thou shalt have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money; thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. | And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go according to her desire; but thou shalt in no wise sell her for money; thou shalt not treat her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her. |

| Deuteronomy 21:16 | Then when he gives his property to his sons for their heritage, he is not to put the son of his loved one in the place of the first son, the son of the hated wife: | Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not prefer the son of the beloved first-born, before the son of the hated, which is indeed the first-born: | then it shall be, in the day that he maketh his sons to inherit what he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, who is the firstborn; |
