:''Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death. Anyone who kidnaps another and either sells him or still has him when he is caught must be put to death. Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.''
So to be consistent, Christians using these passages in the Old Testament to justify capital punishment should also be in favour of the death penalty for kidnappers and those who curse their parents. They should also take note of [[NumberNumbers]] 35: 30 which implies at least 2 witnesses of a murder are required for the capital punishment to be enforced
:''Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no-one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.''
