Ulangan 24:7

24:7 If a man is found kidnapping a person from among his fellow Israelites, ¹  and regards him as mere property ²  and sells him, that kidnapper ³  must die. In this way you will purge ⁴  evil from among you.

[24:7]  ¹ tn Heb “from his brothers, from the sons of Israel.” The terms “brothers” and “sons of Israel” are in apposition; the second defines the first more specifically.

[24:7]  ² tn Or “and enslaves him.”

[24:7]  ³ tn Heb “that thief.”

[24:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “burn.” See note on the word “purge” in Deut 19:19.
