The door. She had disgraced her father’s house, therefore was to be punished at his door.

Stone her. Compare chapter 21:21.

Folly in Israel. The word translated “folly” is difficult to express in English. It is also rendered “vile” (Judges 19:24), and “villainy” (Isaiah 32:6; Jeremiah 29:23). It includes the ideas of disgrace, wantonness, utter senselessness.
