25But if the manH376 findH4672 the damsel that is betrothedH781 in the fieldH7704, and the manH376 force her, and lieH7901 with her; then the manH376 onlyH905 that layH7901 with her shall dieH4191: 26but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sinH2399 worthy of deathH4194: for as when a manH376 riseth against his neighborH7453, and slayeth him, even soH3651 is this matterH1697; 27for he foundH4672 her in the fieldH7704, the betrothedH781 damsel criedH6817, and there was none to saveH3467 her.

28If a manH376 findH4672 a damsel that is a virginH1330, that is not betrothedH781, and layH7901 hold on her, and lieH7901 with her, and they be foundH4672; 29then the manH376 that layH7901 with her shall giveH5414 unto the damsel’s fatherH1 fiftyH2572 shekels of silverH3701, and she shall beH1961 his wifeH802, because he hath humbled her; he may not putH5414 her awayH7971 all his daysH3117.
