This was not commanded in the Bible; if you read the context this was the crowd speaking, not a commandment of any kind. You may as well say that the late-19th/early-20th century American media endorsed lynching because they documented it. Since this article is listing capital crimes in the Bible, rather than capital offenses in the ANE, this one doesn't make sense.
It should be noted that the modern Christian view of salvation and forgiveness, as described by Jesus in the New Testament, negates the legality of these verses within Christianity or the Bible as a whole.
This is POV material; you might not like Reconstructionists (and I don't) but they certainly wouldn't agree with this. The NT does not eliminate the need for civil government (see Romans 13:1-3); exactly what form that should take is the issue that is discussed among Christians. It's far from a settled matter. Explanation of the various views (least of all merely one of them spoken as if it were the only Christian view on the matter) should not be in a "List of..." article.
It ought to be noted that it was not a capital crime for a woman to have premarital sex with a man other than her husband, unless she married that man while claiming to be a version. The verse assumes that the husband was not aware of her lack of virginity. While more might be argued, it might be better to stick with what we know the verse allows for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.109.202.139 (talk) 18:30, 8 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why is the Bible being used here as a reference, when the authors of the page obviously have no idea what the Bible is saying, especially with reference to the Hebrew language in question? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercster (talk • contribs) 07:10, 25 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
