SCRIPTURE

"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 20:14 (ASV)

The burning under the sentence of the Law took place after the death of the criminal by stoning, or strangling (Joshua 7:25).
