Sanhedrin 6:6-7:1

Sanhedrin 6:6

After the flesh of an executed person has decayed, they would gather the bones and bury them in the deceased’s family plot. The deceased’s relatives would come to greet the judges and the witnesses in order to demonstrate that they did not bear a grudge because the verdict was just. The family would not mourn publicly for the one executed but they could grieve for him in their hearts.

Sanhedrin 7:1

The court was empowered to deliver four types of execution: stoning, burning, beheading and strangulation (in order of harshest to least harsh). Rabbi Shimon ordered them as burning, stoning, strangulation and beheading. Thus far, we have discussed the procedure for stoning.
