18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him.
18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip
18 The town leaders then are to take the husband, whip him,
18 Then the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him;
18 The elders must then take the man and punish him.
