The election 16. and duty of a king If a man or woman among you This phrase emphasizes the inclusivity of the law, applying equally to both genders.

The law is not biased; it holds every member of the community accountable, reflecting the just nature of God who sees all equally. in one of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you is discovered doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and violating His covenant (2) If there be found . . . man or woman.--This section differs slightly from the third section of Deuteronomy 13. The penalty there is directed against the teachers of idolatry, whether prophets, private individuals, or communities in Israel. Here the penalty of death is enacted for every individual, man or woman, found guilty of worshipping any other god but Jehovah. We find traces of this law in the covenant made in the reign of Asa (2Chronicles 15:13), "that whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (3) Either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven.--The oldest and simplest, and apparently most innocent form of idolatry. If this was punishable with death, obviously no grosser form of idolatry could be spared. The Book of Job, which knows no other idolatry, admits this to be a denial "of the God that is above" (Job 31:26-28). (6) He that is worthy of death.--Literally, he that dieth. (7) The hands of the witnesses . . . first.--A great safeguard against false testimony. Put . . . away.--Literally, consume. The primary meaning of the word is "burn." Taberah, "burning," is a derivative. The evil.--The Greek version renders this "the wicked man," and the sentence is taken up in this form in 1Corinthians 5:13, "and ye shall put away from among you that wicked person." The phrase is of frequent occurrence in Deuteronomy, and if we are to understand that in all places where it occurs "the evil" is to be under. stood of an individual, and to be taken in the masculine gender, the fact seems to deserve notice in considering the phrase "deliver us from evil" in the Lord's Prayer. There is really no such thing as wickedness in the world apart from some wicked being or person. We are also reminded of the famous argument of St. Augustine, that evil has no existence except as a corruption of good, or a creature's perverted will. . . . Verse 2. - In Deuteronomy 13, Moses enacts what is to be done to those who seduce into idolatry. Here he declares what is to be done to those who are so seduced.
