and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

1. The judgment could take place in the city, but the execution must take place "without the camp." (Leviticus 24:14)

2. The witnesses - Those who brought the charges were to cast the first stones. (Deuteronomy 17:7)

3. They took off their outer garments so they could throw stones with more velocity and accuracy. They laid these garments in the care of a young man, named Saul.

1. This is our first introduction to Saul.

2. Saul (later known as Paul) identifies himself as this same person in Acts 22:20.

3. He is described as a young man. This term generally applied to men under age 45. Most believe Saul was about 30 at this time.
