In the Bible, what was the most common form of capital punishment prescribed by biblical law?

Player #134726817, there were no prisons in biblical times as there are now, you either atoned for your crime made it right, if you couldn’t you became the slave of the one you wronged or you died. Considering todays over crowded prisons, was there behavior barbaric or is ours.

Lo Tirsha in Hebrew/Ibrit means no Murder.

BlueEyedAlien, Your correct except in Hebrew the correct word is Murder. Someone could be accidentally killed in which case they went to the city of refuge. A axe could accidentally fly off and kill someone unintentionally.

Player #134726817, The Torah are laws given by the Most High to Moses. Nothing barbaric about Universal Laws that govern all manmade laws.

yeah, it along with the other books of Abrahamic religions are such wonderful sources of barbaric behavior

Stoning was the Hebrew method of capital punishment because it involved the entire community in the death. No one person was responsible, therefore, no one had violated the law of the Torah, “Thou shalt not kill.”
