Back that up with verse and context, please.


There actually are explicit cases: Leviticus 20:14 and Leviticus 21:9 prescribe burning as a punishment in certain scenarios (ancient Israelite legal code).

Leviticus 20:14 (KJV)

“And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.”

Leviticus 21:9 (KJV)

“And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.”


Yeah there's definitely more than meets the eye here.
