Torah Execution Methods
OdKahaneChai:
Well, I'm not sure about the Torah - but I know the Talmud specifies several different types of execution:
Sekila - stoning
Serefah - burning
Hereg - decapitation
Chenek - strangulation

I know that, but I thought you were talking about methods specified in the written Torah. But, if you weren't, then I think I gave the answer, didn't I?

Actually I belive that those 4 methods are specified in the 5 Books of Moses. The Oral Law and Rabbis actually were a lot more lenient and wouldnt execute that many people (even when they were wronge), in fact if their was even 1 execution in 70 years that Sanhedrin would be concidered a killing (something similar to that tome) Sanhedrin.

Yes, Gemara Makos talks about that, and a better word would be "bloodthirsty" rather then killing, though the response to that statement is a overly lenient Sanhedrin causes murder to increase in the world

I've usually seen it translated as "murderous." But, basically the same thing.
