Resurrecting the Biblical Doctrine of Capital Punishment

Updated: May 19

Today I want to share a little about my effort in resurrecting the foundational biblical doctrine of capital punishment, using the words, execute, executed, and execution to reveal the doctrine. I’m continuing to edit my Son Of Man Bible. Included in that effort is the resurrection of the Bible doctrine of Capital Punishment. I only found two other English Bibles that used the words execute, executed, and execution to show the doctrine of Capital Punishment. No wonder our culture and society is broken down. Capital Punishment is a solid biblical doctrine, but it appears that most English translations of the Bible mask, or hide, the doctrine with poor or intentionally poor translations of the Scripture writers’ intentions.


When Adam and Eve sinned, they immediately came under the condemnation of death but not by immediate execution. Yehowah told Adam that if they did sin, they would die within that first 1000-year “day”. The sentence of death was carried out, Adam died physically at the age of 930.


In Genesis Chapter 4, we see Cain murder his brother Abel, but Cain was only cursed, not immediately executed for murder. It seems that Yehowah was reluctant to implement Capital Punishment via immediate execution for violating his moral laws. Cain complained that just being cursed was too much punishment to bear. There may not have been justice for Abel until Cain died, or maybe until Yeshua died for Cain and Abel’s sins!


Sin increased upon the earth until finally Yehowah promised to punish all of mankind with physical death, Genesis 6:7, “I will wipe away mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth; both mankind and the larger animals, and creeping things and birds of the sky, for I am sorry that I have made them.” and Genesis 6:13, “The Almighty said to Noah, “I can see that it is time to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Indeed, I will destroy them with the earth.” Noah’s Flood came and fulfilled Yehowah’s promise of captial punishment for sin, Genesis 7:21, “All living beings that moved upon the earth died: the birds, the livestock, the wild animals, all the living creatures that lived in great numbers upon the earth, and all mankind.” We see in the Flood of Noah that Yehowah believes in Capital Punishment. In Noah’s Flood story we see a mass execution of mankind for their many terrible sins.


What I believe is the first instance of Yehowah teaching mankind about the biblical doctrine of Capital Punishment is found AFTER Noah’s Flood, in Genesis 9:5-6, “But for your blood, the life that is in your blood, I will require payment. . . . From the hand of any human, that is, from the hand of one who has murdered his brother, I will require an accounting for the life of that human. Whoever sheds mankind’s blood (murder; includes abortion), by man will that person be executed, for it was in the image of the Almighty that he made mankind.” We are supposed to walk in the image and likeness of Yehowah. He is far set apart from sin. That is what he wants for us. He does not want us indulging our flesh, degrading down to the point of committing capital crimes, as depraved sinners are wont to do. We are to walk in the Ruach, the Spirit, of Yehowah, so we won’t fulfill the desires of our flesh. Read Romans 8.


You can find more on capital punishment in the story of Joseph and his brothers. Also, at Mount Sinai when Yehowah was going to appear to all Israel during the Shavuot season and give the 10 Commandments. Exodus 19:12-13, “You must set boundaries all around the mountain for the people. Say to them, ‘Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain will surely be executed.’ 13 No one’s hand must touch such a person. Instead, he must certainly be stoned or shot. Whether it is a person or an animal, he must be executed. When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they may come up to the foot of the mountain.”


The Father had to eventually spell out laws through Moses regarding Capital Punishment. Here’s some examples from the Book of Leviticus:


Lev. 20:2 Say to the people of Israel, ‘Anyone among the people of Israel, or any sojourning alien who lives in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech (abortion today), must certainly be executed. The people in the land must stone him with stones.

Lev. 20:9 Everyone who curses his father or his mother must surely be executed. He has cursed his father or his mother, so he is guilty and deserves to die.

Lev. 20:10 The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, that is, anyone who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress must both certainly be executed (homosexuality, bestiality, lesbianism, LGBTQ+, polyamory, pornography, foreign pagan lineage, child molestation, fornication, incest, prostitution, etc.).

Lev. 20:11 The man who lies down with his father’s wife to have sex with her has disgraced his own father. Both the son and his father’s wife must certainly be executed. They are guilty and deserve to die.

Lev. 20:12 If a man has sex with his daughter-in-law, both of them must certainly be executed. They have committed perversion. They are guilty and deserve to die.

Lev. 20:13 If a man has sex with another man, as with a woman, both of them have done something detestable. They must surely be executed. They are guilty and deserve to die (homosexuality, child molestation, rape, fornication, adultery, bestiality, lesbianism, LGBTQ+, polyamory, pornography, foreign pagan lineage, incest, prostitution, etc.).

Lev. 20:14 If a man marries a woman and also marries her mother, this is wickedness. They must be executed by burning, both he and the women, so that there will be no wickedness among you.

Lev. 20:15 If a man has sex with an animal, he must surely be executed, and you must kill the animal.

Lev. 20:16 If a woman approaches any animal to have sex with it, you must kill the woman and the animal. They must certainly be executed. They are guilty and deserve to die (bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, LGBTQ+, polyamory, pornography, foreign pagan lineage, child molestation, fornication, adultery, incest, prostitution, etc.).

Lev. 20:27 A man or a woman who is a necromancer or wizard conjuring up dead spirits using ghost pits must certainly be executed. The people must stone them with stones. They are guilty and deserve to die.”’”

Lev. 21:9 Any daughter of any priest who defiles herself by becoming a prostitute disgraces her father (prostitution, child molestation, rape, fornication, adultery, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, LGBTQ+, polyamory, pornography, foreign pagan lineage, incest, etc.). She must be executed by burning.

Lev. 24:16 He who blasphemes the name of Yehowah must surely be executed. All the congregation must certainly stone him, whether he is a sojourning foreigner or a native-born Israeli. If anyone blasphemes the Name, he must be executed.

Lev. 24:17 If anyone murders another human, he must certainly be executed.

Lev. 24:21 Anyone who kills an animal must pay it back, and anyone who murders a human must be executed.

Lev. 27:29 No ransom may be paid for the person who is devoted for destruction. That person must be executed.


Humans take Yehowah’s Sabbath very lightly, but violating Yehowah’s Sabbath is a capital crime: Numbers 15:32-35, “While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and all the congregation. 34 They kept him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done with him. 35 Then Yehowah said to Moses, “The man must surely be executed. All the congregation must stone him with stones outside the camp.”


Read Ezekiel 18 for more on capital punishment.


There are many many types of capital crime. Most are taught against in the Set-apart Scriptures. All kinds of sexual immorality, witchcraft, blasphemy, kidnapping, rape, murders, violation of Yehowah’s laws, etc. are punishable by execution. I’ve tried to restore this foundational Bible doctrine of Capital Punishment in my Son Of Man Bible. Do a search inside the Son Of Man Bible on the terms “execute”, “executed”, and “execution”. You will begin to see the foundational Bible doctrine of Capital Punishment come to life in his living word.
