Yehoshua said, Why have you troubled us? the LORD shall trouble you this day. All Yisra'el stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
Ya`akov said to Shim`on and Levi, *You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Kena`anim and the Perizzi. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.*
It happened about three months later, that it was told Yehudah, saying, *Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.* Yehudah said, *Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.*
*Moreover, you shall tell the children of Yisra'el, 'Anyone of the children of Yisra'el, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Yisra'el, who gives any of his seed to Molekh; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.
