14. Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp —All executions took place without the camp; and this arrangement probably originated in the idea that, as the Israelites were to be "a holy people" [ Deuteronomy 7:6 ; Deuteronomy 14:2 ; Deuteronomy 14:21 ; Deuteronomy 26:19 ; Deuteronomy 28:9 ], all flagrant offenders should be thrust out of their society. let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, &c.—The imposition of hands formed a public and solemn testimony against the crime, and at the same time made the punishment legal. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
